15.1 Fundamentals
Overview
The TNC offers twelve cycles for automatically finding reference
points and handling them as follows:
Setting the determined values directly as display values
Entering the determined values in the preset table
Entering the determined values in a datum table
Cycle
408 SLOT CENTER REF PT. Measuring
the inside width of a slot, and defining
the slot center as datum
409 RIDGE CENTER REF PT. Measuring
the outside width of a ridge, and defining
the ridge center as datum
410 DATUM INSIDE RECTAN.
Measuring the inside length and width of
a rectangle, and defining the center as
datum
411 DATUM OUTSIDE RECTAN.
Measuring the outside length and width
of a rectangle, and defining the center as
datum
412 DATUM INSIDE CIRCLE Measuring
any four points on the inside of a circle,
and defining the center as datum
413 DATUM OUTSIDE CIRCLE
Measuring any four points on the
outside of a circle, and defining the
center as datum
414 DATUM OUTSIDE CORNER
Measuring two lines from the outside of
the angle, and defining the intersection
as datum
415 DATUM INSIDE CORNER
Measuring two lines from within the
angle, and defining the intersection as
datum
416 DATUM CIRCLE CENTER (2nd soft-
key level) Measuring any three holes on
a bolt hole circle, and defining the bolt-
hole center as datum

Questions and answers
Can I change the approach direction when cycle def a stud to avoid obstruction to the right
The provided context does not explicitly mention changing the approach direction to avoid obstruction. However, it describes selecting different axis configurations using the MOD function in the Programming and Editing mode. If modifying the axis configuration allows for adjusting the approach direction, it may be possible. Otherwise, specific cycle parameters should be checked in the programming manual.
