1. At first, please move the probe right over the center of outside
circle.
2. When this cycle is executed, the probe moves the distance (R + α
+ stylus radius) along the X axis with feed-rate (fa). After that, it
moves the distance (Z) along –Z axis with feed-rate (fa), and does
a measurement from the point within the distance (R - γ + stylus
radius) with the feed-rate (f). → First measurement
3. Next, the probe returns the distance (ε) and returns the measuring
start point with rapid traverse.
4. The probe does a measurement as the same one in the direction –
X axis and ±Y axis.
5. After the first measurement, the probe moves to the position (1
st
measuring position - β) along the X axis with feed-rate (fa) and
does a measurement from the position within the distance (β + γ)
with the feed-rate (F). → Second measurement
6. Next, the probe returns the distance (ε) and returns the measuring
start point with rapid traverse
7. The probe does a measurement as the same one in the direction –
X axis and ±Y axis.
After inputting the necessary data, by pushing INSERT, a pop-up
windows is closed and inputted data are displayed in a program
window as the following ISO code program.
