Measuring Cycles for Milling and Machining Centers

5.1

General prerequisites

5.1.1

General information

The measuring cycles below are intended for use on milling machines and machining
centers.
Under certain conditions, workpiece measuring cycles CYCLE976, CYCLE977, and
CYCLE978 can also be used on turning machines.
To be able to run the measuring cycles described in this chapter, the following programs
must be stored in the part program memory of the control.
The measuring cycle data are defined in the data blocks:
● GUD5.DEF
● GUD6.DEF

Note
As of HMI sl software version 2.6
The GUD parameters are stored in the machine or setting data.
A correspondence/assignment list of the measuring cycle GUD parameters, GUD
modules and measuring programs used up to and including measuring cycles version
7.5, compared to the machine and setting data as of measuring cycles version 2.6, is
included in appendices A1, A2 and A3.
Function
