# Introduction

## Task

In order to increase the machining precision of workpieces in CNC-controlled production, geometric errors must be reliably detected and corrected.

The purpose of “Measurement cycles - Calibration includes

- the automatic calibration of measuring equipment
- the measurement of coordinate systems, and
- the measurement of workpieces and tools.

See “Cycles - Kinematic optimisation” for how to determine and correct geometric errors in machine kinematics.

Please note that cycles are additional options and subject to the purchase of a license.

## Programming and parameterisation

The programming and parameterisation of cycles is described in each of the overviews in the main chapter.
