Measurement with main axis(G100) (Type 4)

G100 <axis_name><expr> { <axis_name><expr> } [F<expr> ] (non-modal)

G100 Selection measuring traverse

<axis_name><expr> Target position of measuring axis

F<expr> Measuring feed

The three primary axes may participate in the movements of the measuring block. Each axis that is programmed in the measuring block must be identified as measuring axis [2]-1. The measuring method (Type 4) 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'. A maximum of three primary axes may participate in a measuring traverse. The measuring feed is specified by the F-word. The movement in the measuring block must be greater than zero.

Programming example

%G100_Type_4 
N10 G00 X0 Y0 
N20 G100 X10 Y20 F200 ;X10/Y20 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.

Programming example

%Meas_traverse 
N10 G00 X0 Y0 Z0 
N20 X5 
N30 G100 X10 Y10 F500 
N40 G01 X7 
N50 M30 

Fig. 4.12 shows the representation of the resulting path:
