2.6.1 Measuring an edge

2-66
3. Swivel manually
With "direct" swiveling enter the required rotary axis positions or
with "axis by axis" the required rotations (e.g. Y=-90) and "cycle
start".
4. Measure the workpiece
Apply "Apply edge Z": The measured offset in Z is converted and
entered as an X value in the chosen work offset.
5. Swivel manually
Execute swivel to zero in order to rotate the coordinate system to
its initial position.
The following options are available to you when measuring an edge:
•
Set the edge
The workpiece lies parallel to the coordinate system on the work
table. You measure one reference point in one of the axes (X, Y,
Z).
•
Align the edge
The workpiece lies in any direction, i.e. not parallel to the
coordinate system on the work table. By measuring two points on
the workpiece edge you determine the angle with the coordinate
system.
•
Distance 2 edges
The workpiece lies parallel to the coordinate system on the work
table. You measure distance L of two parallel workpiece edges in
one of the axes (X, Y, or Z) and determine its center.
