14.2 BASIC ROTATION (Cycle 400, DIN/
ISO: G400, software option 17)
Cycle run
Touch probe cycle 400 determines a workpiece misalignment by
measuring two points, which must lie on a straight surface. With
the basic rotation function the TNC compensates the measured
value.
1 The TNC positions the touch probe at rapid traverse (value from
FMAX column) following the positioning logic (See "Executing
touch probe cycles", page 280) to the starting point 1. The TNC
offsets the touch probe by the safety clearance in the direction
opposite to the defined traverse direction.
2 Then the touch probe moves to the entered measuring height
and runs the first probing process at the probing feed rate
(column F).
3 Then the touch probe moves to the next starting position 2 and
probes the second position.
4 The TNC returns the touch probe to the clearance height and
performs the basic rotation.
Please note while programming:
Before a cycle definition you must have programmed
a tool call to define the touch probe axis.
The TNC will reset an active basic rotation at the
beginning of the cycle.
