General information on workpiece production
2.5.2 Example measuring process
The Align plane measuring cycle is intended for horizontal alignment of the workpiece plane.
The compensation should be made in the work offset G54.
Select the Align plane softkey.
Traverse the probe to measuring point P1.
Select the work offset, e.g. G54 (
When you press "NC Start", the respective measuring points P1, P2, and P3 (
approached automatically, starting from the manually selected preliminary position. This
means that the probe approaches the workpiece, is triggered and then retracts to the start
position.
When all measuring points have been approached, press "Calculate" (
The plane is horizontally aligned. If the Swivel/TRAORI option has been set up on the
machine, you can align the workpiece with the axes immediately.
If the Swivel option has not been set up, you can align the probe perpendicular to the plane
being measured. The compensation is then only made in the coordinate axes without any vis-
ible swiveling of the table or head (
