Measurement
Measurements are made as follows:
● Measuring the end face along the X- or Y-axis
Meaning
Symbol in the
explanation
Feedrate in the first measurement cycle f1
Approach distance in the first measurement cycle α
Return distance in the first measurement cycle β
Overtravel distance at measurement γ
Feedrate in the second measurement cycle f2
Return distance after contact in the second
measurement cycle
ε
<1> Get the probe close to the measurement position by moving it
manually.
<2> When measurement is started, the probe moves at a feedrate of
f1 in the range (α + γ - stylus ball radius) from the current
position to perform the first measurement cycle.
<3> Then, the probe returns through the distance β at the rapid
traverse rate. Within the range (β + γ) from the current position,
the probe moves at a feedrate of f2 to perform the second
measurement cycle.
<4> After the second measurement cycle, the probe returns through
the distance ε at the rapid traverse rate.
