2.8.3 End Face (Z-axis Direction) Measurement
The position of an end face in the Z-axis direction is measured.
When you select "Z-AXIS DIRECTION WORK SETUP (PROBE X-
AXIS)" on the centering menu selection screen of the measurement
cycle, the following screen appears:
Measurement motion screen
The displayed items are the same as for "Z-AXIS DIRECTION
WORK SETUP (PROBE Z-AXIS)" except that the screen title shows
"Z-AXIS DIRECTION WORK SETUP (PROBE X-AXIS)".
Input screen for automatic workpiece offset value setting
The displayed items are the same as for "Z-AXIS DIRECTION
WORK SETUP (PROBE Z-AXIS)" except that the screen title shows
"Z-AXIS DIRECTION WORK SETUP (PROBE X-AXIS)".
Measurement motion
<1> A rapid movement is made from the current position to the
approach point (Y coordinate,Z coordinate).
Here, the approach point (Y coordinate) is the same as
"MEASURE POINT Y".
The approach point (Z coordinate) represents ("MEASURE
POINT Z" - α) when the measurement direction is "+Z", or the
approach point (Z coordinate) represents ("MEASURE POINT
Z" + α) when the measurement direction is "-Z".
The subsequent motion is the same as for "Y-AXIS DIRECTION
WORK SETUP (PROBE X-AXIS)".
G code format
When you press the INSERT key after entering necessary data, a G
code program in the following format is stored in the machining
program memory:
G2122 Q
P H V L R F W I S Y U J K E ;
Measurement result
When G2122 is executed, the result of measurement is output to
macro variables for the result of measurement and as the Z coordinate
of a specified workpiece origin offset value.
