Measurement with a single axis (G100) (Type 2)

G100 <axis_name><expr> (non-modal)

G100 Selection measuring traverse

<axis_name><expr> Target point of measuring axis

Exactly one axis may participate in the movements of the measuring block. The axis that is programmed in the measuring block must be identified as measuring axis [2]-1. The measuring method (Type 2) must be specified [1]-1.

During measurement, the occurrence of a measuring signal is registered in the measuring block. Linear interpolation is performed between the target point, that is specified in the NC-command, and the start point (same effect as with G01). In this document, the path velocity in the measuring block is referred to as 'measuring feed'. Exactly one axis must participate in a measuring traverse. The measuring feed is specified [2]-5. The movement in the measuring block must be greater than zero.

Programming example

%G100_Type_2 
N10 G00 X0 Y0 
N20 G100 X10 ;X10 Target point of measuring traverse 
...

The unit stops after the measuring signal has been stored. The remaining path of the measuring block is not output. An error message is output if a measured signal cannot be acquired within the measuring block.

Programming example

%Meas_traverse 
N10 G00 X0 Y0 Z0 
N20 Y5 
N30 G100 X10 
N40 G01 X7 
N50 M30

Fig. 4.8 shows the representation of the resulting path:
