General information

Compensation in the zero offset
After an offset has been applied in the selected zero offset by the measuring function, this
ZO is activated in JOG mode and the probe possibly oriented in the new WCS, e.g. for the
following measurements.
For "measuring in JOG", an offset in the active ZO (the ZO that applies during measurement)
is preset. This ZO is updated after measurement and is therefore active.
This is sufficient in cases where translation offset of the workpiece coordinate system and /
or rotation about the infeed axis has occurred.
Set-up in JOG.
Positioning of the rotary axes for orienting the workpiece after measurement or orienting the
probe because of rotation about the axes of the working plane has so far only been possible
in MDA or AUTOMATIC mode.
To support set-up in JOG after measurement, an additional activation screen form is
automatically shown afterward, if at least one of the following reasons applies:
• Offset in a ZO not active during measurement.
• An offset causes rotation of the WCS about at least one plane axis following by a
• An offset demands rotary axis positioning for workpiece alignment without affecting the
The system detects whether the measuring probe must be aligned/oriented using the
function "swiveling" or the 5-axis transformation (TRAORI). The relevant screen form is
displayed.
If axial movements are required, the user is informed about this in the screen form. It is
possible to decide whether pressing "NC start" will start the swivel cycle for orienting the
probe or whether the selected rotary axis will move to orient the workpiece.
Note
Align probe
If the function "swiveling" or the 5-axis transformation (TRAORI) is used to align/orient the
measuring probe, then this must also be set-up in the machine!
