8. Measure workpiece
Apply "Set edge Z" to define the offset in Z.
9. Start part program to remachine under AUTO.
Start the program with swivel zero.
Second example
Measuring workpieces in swiveled states. The workpiece is to be probed in the X direction
even though the probe cannot approach the workpiece in the X direction because of an
obstructing edge (e.g. due to clamping elements). However, with a swivel movement, the
measurement in the X direction can be replaced by a measurement in the Z direction.
1. Clamp the workpiece.
2. T,S,M
Load the probe and activate the desired work offset.
3. Manual swivel
With "direct" swiveling enter the required rotary axis positions or with "axis by axis" the
required rotations (e.g. Y=-90) and <CYCLE START>.
4. Measure workpiece
Apply "Set edge Z": The measured offset in Z is converted and entered as an X value in
the chosen work offset.
4.6.4 Setting the edge
The workpiece lies parallel to the coordinate system on the work table. You measure one
reference point in one of the axes (X, Y, Z).
Requirement
You can insert any tool in the spindle for scratching when measuring the workpiece zero
manually.
- OR -
An electronic workpiece probe is inserted in the spindle and activated when measuring the
workpiece zero automatically.
