Parameters
The touch probe must be configured in addition to supplying the input parameters described here. For more information on this function, see the section Configuration file.
The (calibrated) parameters of the touch probe (radius, length and offset in X and Y directions) are specified via the tool parameters.
Required input parameters
Input parameters | Description |
@P6 | Measurement path in the direction of the negative Z axis |
@P87 | Estimated diameter of the sphere. Here, an approximate parameter is sufficient. For calculating pre-positioning. |
Optional input parameters
Input parameters | Description |
@P7 | Zero offset to be described (TCS) G159=1 to G159=9 and G54 to G59 Input without address "G159=" or "G" If not specified, then measurement only but no write function Only permitted when G53 is active at cycle call. |
@P9 | Shift the measurement result along the X axis (shifts origin of the zero offset) |
@P10 | Shift the measurement result along the Y axis (shifts origin of the zero offset) |
@P11 | Shift the measurement result along the Z axis (shifts origin of the zero offset) |
@P13 | Safety clearance for pre-positioning Default: diameter of touch probe |
@P14 | Probe angle of the first lateral measurement in relation to the positive X axis [degrees] Default: 0 |
@P15 | Difference of the probe angle between the lateral measurements [degrees] Default: 90 |
@P33 | Crossover range during measurement process [mm, inch] Additional motion path that exceeds the expected workpiece edge/workpiece surface Default: @P87/4 |
@P64 | Definition of the path to approach to pre-position 0: linear (default) 1: circular (Caution: collision detection is disabled) |
@P88 | Measurement repetition at the height of the equator using calculated parameters from the first pass for enhanced accuracy 1: yes 2: no (default) |
Attention
If circular approach of the pre-position was selected in @P64, collision detection is disabled. This option may only be enabled if safe approach to the pre-position is ensured.
It is recommended to use the Syntax check to verify whether the input parameters are correctly assigned.
