Overview

Task

In order to increase the machining precision of workpieces in CNC-controlled production, geometric errors must be reliably detected and corrected.

The purpose of “Measurement cycles - Calibration includes

• the automatic calibration of measuring equipment
• the measurement of coordinate systems, and
• the measurement of workpieces and tools.

See “Cycles - Kinematic optimisation” for how to determine and correct geometric errors in machine kinematics.

Programming and parameterisation

The programming and parameterisation of cycles is described in each of the overviews in the main chapter.
