Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl Programming Manual page 93

Requirements
● The probe must be calibrated in the measuring direction and active as tool. The probe type
is 710 or 580.
● The cutting edge position can be 5 to 8 and must be suitable for the measurement task.
● If necessary, the workpiece must be positioned in the correct angular spindle position using
spindle positioning (SPOS).
Starting position before the measurement
The probe must be positioned opposite to the surface/edge to be measured. Starting from this
position, the measuring cycle always traverses the measuring axis in the direction of the
setpoint.
Position after the end of the measuring cycle
When the measuring process has been completed, the probe is positioned at the distance of
the measurement path (DFA) from the measuring surface.
Procedure
The part program or ShopTurn program to be processed has been created and you are in the
editor.
