5.6 Frame calculation from three measuring points in space
(MEAFRAME)
Function
MEAFRAME is an extension of the 840D language used for supporting measuring cycles.
The function MEAFRAME calculates the frame from three ideal and the corresponding
measured points.
When a workpiece is positioned for machining, its position relative to the Cartesian machine
coordinate system is generally both shifted and rotated referring to its ideal position. For
exact machining or measuring either a costly physical adjustment of the part is required or
the motions defined in the part program must be changed.
A frame can be defined by sampling three points in space whose ideal positions are known.
A touch-trigger probe or optical sensor is used for sampling that touches special holes
precisely fixed on the supporting plate or probe balls.

MEAFRAME
Frame calculation of three measured points in space
IDEAL_POINT
Array of real data containing the three coordinates of the ideal
points
MEAS_POINT
Array of real data containing the three coordinates of the
measured points

Returning the following information:
The ideal points are almost on a straight line:
The frame could not be calculated. The returned
frame variable contains a neutral frame.
The measuring points are almost on a straight
line: The frame could not be calculated. The
returned frame variable contains a neutral frame.
The calculation of the rotation matrix failed for a
different reason.
Sum of distortions (distances between the
points), that are required to transform the
measured triangle into a triangle that is
congruent to the ideal triangle.
