Overview

Task

The Measurement function permits the precise measurement of a workpiece using a measuring probe. Therefore, after the probe is triggered, the current axis position is saved.

In special cases, saving axis positions can also be triggered by other events such as a PLC signal or the detection of a fixed stop.

Effectiveness

The measuring function is initialised and activated for the axes programmed in the measurement block.

Programming

G100 and G310 are used to measure a workpiece.
G101 and G102 include measuring offsets caused by a previous measurement as an additional offset.

Parameterisation

The axis and channel parameter lists must be parameterised accordingly in order to use the measuring function. The drive type must be included.

For more information on this function, see Section Parameter .

Mandatory note on references to other documents

For the sake of clarity, links to other documents and parameters are abbreviated, e.g. [PROG] for the Programming Manual or P-AXIS-00001 for an axis parameter.

For technical reasons, these links only function in the Online Help (HTML5, CHM) but not in pdf files since pdfs do not support cross-linking.
