3.7.1 Carrying Out Surface Measurement

Outline
When carrying out surface measurement, the position of each axis is measured and the measurement results
are set in the workpiece coordinates system offset. The measurement position displays at the measurement
counter.
<Measurement using the touch sensor>
Measurement counter X = X axis skip position + sensor radius (Note)
Measurement counter Y = Y axis skip position + sensor radius (Note)
Measurement counter Z = Z axis skip position - sensor length
(Note) The sign (+ and -) changes depending on the direction of the axis moved last.
Sensor radius
Sensor length
<Simple measurement (measurement without using touch sensor)>
Measurement counter X : X axis measurement position
Measurement counter Y : Y axis measurement position
Measurement counter Z : Z axis measurement position
Operation method
(1) Press the
Face meas
(2) Perform the reference position return
command, etc. to position the tool at the
basic point.
(3) Turn ON the measurement switch on the
machine operation board.
(4) Move the tool near the workpiece using
manual feed and manual handle feed.
<With the touch sensor>
(5) Move the tool in the X-direction until the
sensor contacts the workpiece.

Reference
The menu is highlighted.
The message "On meas" appears.
Upon contact, the axis automatically contacts the workpiece
again. The measurement position measured from the skip
position displays in the measurement counter X axis section.
