Overview of the measuring cycles

Function of the measuring cycles
The following table describes all the measuring cycle functions for the turning and milling
technologies.

Measuring cy‐ Description
cle
CYCLE973 This measuring cycle can be used to calibrate a workpiece
2)
probe on a surface on the workpiece or in a groove.
CYCLE974 This measuring cycle can be used to determine the work‐
2)
piece zero in the selected measuring axis or a tool offset
with 1-point measurement.
CYCLE994 This measuring cycle can be used to determine the work‐
2)
piece zero in the selected measuring axis with 2-point
measurement. To do this, two opposite measuring points
on the diameter are approached automatically in succession
CYCLE976 Using this measuring cycle, a workpiece probe can be cali‐
brated in a calibration ring or on a calibration ball completely
in the working plane or at an edge for a particular axis and
direction.
CYCLE961 This measuring cycle can be used to determine the position
of a workpiece corner (inner or outer) and use this as work
offset.
CYCLE977 This measuring cycle can be used to determine the center
point in the plane as well as the width or the diameter.
CYCLE978 This measuring cycle can be used to measure the position
of an edge in the workpiece coordinate system.
