Basics

General information
Measuring cycles are general subroutines designed to solve specific measurement tasks. They
can be adapted to specific problems via parameter settings.
When taking general measurements, a distinction is made between
● Tool measurement and
● Workpiece measurement.
Workpiece measurement
Workpiece measurement, turning example
In workpiece measurement, a probe is moved up to the clamped workpiece in the same way
as a tool and the measured values are acquired. The flexibility of measuring cycles makes it
possible to perform nearly all measurements required on a milling or turning machine.
The result of the workpiece measurement can be optionally used as follows:
● Compensation in the work offset
● Automatic tool offset
● Measurement without offset
