Program Options - Probe & Measure
Probe 1 Pin
Assigns digital input pin of controller as Probe 1. Input pin is selected from drop down menu.
Probe 2 Pin
Assigns digital input pin of controller as Probe 2. Input pin is selected from drop down menu.
Probe Speed and Speed Low
Probe speed is speed at which machine measures different geometries under Machine/Measure menu.
Speed Low
After initial first probe activation, machine will repeat measurement again, but this time at Low speed.
Measure procedures are described here: Measure menu
Probe Size Z
Length of probe.
Probe Size X and Y
Radius of the stylus ball of touching probe.
Off X
In a case where probe center is not aligned with Z axis center over X axis, user can set offset value.
Off Y
In a case where probe center is not aligned with Z axis center over X axis, user can set offset value.
Probe Travel
Probe Over Edge
Probe Length
This is the distance from the tip of the probe stylus ball to the edge of the probe shoulder. This value is considered when calculating distances in the measurement procedure so that the probe is not damaged.
Use Tool Table
TNG offers option where tool in tool table can be set as probe. When this option is enabled, probe properties(diameter, speed, length) are considered the one that are set in the tool table.
Safe Height
Height value to which machine ascends in-between the measurement procedure.
Return Distance
Height distance for which machine retracts after probe activation.
Probe EStop
During machine operation(machine jogging or NC program execution), if probe input is activated, Estop will be activated.
