Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl Programming Manual page 135

Preconditions
● The probe must be active as tool.
● Tool type of the probe:
Starting position before the measurement
The probe must be positioned with the probe ball center approximately above the center of
the spigot. With the infeed path that has been entered, it must be guaranteed that from this
height the desired measuring height at the spigot can be reached.
NOTICE
If too large a measurement path DFA has been selected so that the protection zone is
violated, then the distance is reduced automatically in the cycle. However, there must be
sufficient room for the probe ball.
Position after the end of the measuring cycle
The measuring cycle end position of the probe ball is centered above the spigot at the height
of the measuring cycles starting position.
NOTICE
The range of the cycle starting points with regard to the spigot center point must be within
the value of the measuring path DFA, otherwise, there is danger of collision or the
measurement cannot be performed!
Procedure
The part program or ShopMill program to be processed has been created and you are in the
editor.
