Measurement motion
Measurement motion is described below.
<1> The reference workpiece is placed on the table, then this
measurement cycle is executed.
<2> When this measurement cycle is executed, a rapid movement is
first made from the current position to the point specified by
("APROCH CENTER PT.X" + ("BASE WORK RADIUS"/2 - α
- stylus radius r)) in the X-axis direction and by "APROCH
CENTER PT.Y" in the Y-axis direction.
<3> A rapid movement is made in the -Z-axis direction to the point
("HEIGHT OF MEAS. PT." + "APROCH DISTANCE").
<4> A movement is made in the -Z-axis direction to a point of
"HEIGHT OF MEAS. PT." at feedrate fb.
<5> In the range (α + γ), a movement is made in the +X-axis
direction at feedrate f. (First measurement)
<6> Next, a rapid return movement is made by β, and a measurement
is made at the feedrate specified by "MOVING MEAS. SPEED"
in the range from that position to (β + γ). (Second measurement)
<7> After a rapid return movement is made by ε, a rapid movement is
made to the X coordinate specified by "APROCH CENTER
PT.X", then a movement is made at feedrate fa in the -X-axis
direction by the distance ("BASE WORK RADIUS D"/2 - α -
stylus radius r).
<8> A similar measurement is made in the -X-axis direction and ±Y-
axis directions.
<9> A return movement is made by "APROCH DISTANCE" in the
Z-axis direction.
The symbols used above have the following meanings:
fa: Value of "FEED-RATE FOR APPROACHING START POINT"
in the measurement condition of the group number specified in
"MEASUREMENT COND."
Rapid traverse rate when bit 2 (RPDF) of parameter No. 12380
is set to 1.
fb: Value of "FEED-RATE FOR APPROACHING START POINT"
in the axis direction in the measurement condition of the group
number specified in "MEASUREMENT COND."
f: Value of “FEED-RATE FOR 1ST MEASUREMENT" in the
measurement condition of the group number specified in
"MEASUREMENT COND.
