cle
CYCLE979 This measuring cycle can be used to measure the center
point in the plane and the radius of circle segments.
CYCLE995 With this measuring cycle the angularity of the spindle on a
machine tool can be measured.
CYCLE996 This measuring cycle can be used to determine transforma‐
tion-relevant data for kinematic transformations with con‐
tained rotary axes.
CYCLE997 This measuring cycle can be used to determine the center
point and diameter of a ball. Furthermore, the center points
of three distributed balls can be measured. The plane
formed through the three ball center points, regarding its
angular position, is determined referred to the working
plane in the workpiece coordinate system.
CYCLE998 This measuring cycle can be used to determine the angular
position of a surface (plane) referred to the working plane
and the angle of edges in the workpiece coordinate system.
CYCLE971 This measuring cycle can be used to calibrate a tool probe
1)
and measure the tool length and/or tool radius for milling
tools.
CYCLE982 This measuring cycle can be used to calibrate a tool probe
2)
and measure turning, drilling and milling tools on turning
machines.
