Page 17: General
General Basics General information Measuring cycles are general subroutines designed to solve specific measurement tasks. They can be adapted to specific problems via parameter settings. When taking general measurements, a distinction is made between • tool measurements and • workpiece measurements. Workpiece measurements In workpiece measurement, a measuring probe is moved up to the clamped workpiece in the same way as a tool and the measured values are acquired.
Page 18: General Prerequisites
General 1.2 General prerequisites Tool measurements In tool measurement, the selected tool is moved up to the probe and the measured values are acquired. The probe is either in a fixed in position or is swung into the working area with a mechanism.

Page 20 General 1.3 Behavior on block search, dry run, program testing, simulation Excessive values of _MC_SIMDIFF with corresponding value assignment of the defining parameters cause cycle alarms to be output. Note It is not ensured that the correction value contains the correct sign of _MC_SIMDIFF. This depends on the measurement or calibration task and the direction of measurement.
Page 21: Reference Points On The Machine And Workpiece
General 1.4 Reference points on the machine and workpiece Example 2: Calibrate tool probe (TESIM_982MKS with CYCLE982, turning technology) Reference points on the machine and workpiece General information Depending on the measuring task, measured values may be required in the machine coordinate system or in the workpiece coordinate system.
Page 22 General 1.4 Reference points on the machine and workpiece Reference points The position of tool reference point F in the machine coordinate system is displayed with machine zero M as the machine actual value. The position of the tool tip (active tool) in the workpiece coordinate system is displayed with workpiece zero W as the workpiece actual value.
Page 23: Definition Of The Planes, Tool Types
General 1.5 Definition of the planes, tool types Note Transformation If kinematic transformation is active, the control makes a distinction between the basic coordinate system and machine coordinate system. If kinematic transformation is deactivated, this distinction is made. All descriptions provided below assume that kinematic transformation is deactivated and therefore refer to the machine coordinate system.

Page 27: Probes That Can Be Used
General 1.6 Probes that can be used Probes that can be used General information To measure tool and workpiece dimensions, a touch-trigger probe is required that provides a signal change (edge) when deflected. The probe must operate virtually bounce-free. Different types of probe are offered by different manufacturers. Probes are distinguished according to the number of measuring directions.
Page 28 General 1.6 Probes that can be used Notice • The measurement takes longer with mono probes since the spindle must be positioned in the cycle several times by means of SPOS. • In workpiece measurement, a bidirectional probe is treated like a mono probe. •...

Page 35 General 1.7 Probe, calibration body, calibration tool A probe must be calibrated before it can be used. Calibration involves precisely determining the triggering points (switching points) of the tool probe and entering them in special data fields. Calibration is performed with a calibration tool. The precise dimensions of the tool are known.
Page 36: Measurement Principle
General 1.8 Measurement principle Measurement principle on-the-fly measurement The principle of "on-the-fly" measurement is implemented in the SINUMERIK control. The probe signal is processed directly on the NC so that the delay when acquiring measured values is minimal. This permits a higher measuring speed for the prescribed measuring precision and time needed for measuring is reduced.
Page 37 General 1.8 Measurement principle Measurement operation The procedure is described using the workpiece measurement. The procedure is the same for tool measurement. In this case, however, the tool is moved and the probe is fixed. Depending on its design, the actual movements of a machine may be different anyway. Workpiece measurement is described as follows: The workpiece is stationary and the probe moves.
Page 38 General 1.8 Measurement principle Measuring velocity The measuring velocity is dependent on the measurement path _FA and its default setting is 150 mm/min if _FA=1; if FA>1: 300 mm/min. Cycles parameter _VMS is then =0. Other measuring velocities can be set by the user to a value of >0 in _VMS (see Chapter 2). The maximum permissible measuring velocity is derived from: •...

Page 40: Measuring Strategy For Measuring Workpieces With Tool Offset
General 1.9 Measuring strategy for measuring workpieces with tool offset Measuring accuracy A delay occurs between detection of the switching signal from the probe and transfer of the measured value to the control. This is caused by signal transmission from the probe and the hardware of the control.
Page 41 General 1.9 Measuring strategy for measuring workpieces with tool offset Assuming the ideal case, only those dimensional deviations that are subject to a trend can be taken into account for compensation value calculation. Since, however, it is hardly ever known to what extent and in which direction accidental dimensional deviations influence the measurement result, a strategy (sliding averaging) is needed that derives a compensation value from the actual/set difference measured.
Page 42 General 1.9 Measuring strategy for measuring workpieces with tool offset • The greater the value of k, the slower the formula will respond when major deviations occur in computation or counter compensation. At the same time, however, accidental scatter will be reduced as k increases. •...
Page 43: Parameters For Checking The Measurement Result And Offset
General 1.10 Parameters for checking the measurement result and offset 1.10 Parameters for checking the measurement result and offset 1.10 For constant deviations not subject to a trend, the dimensional deviation measured can be compensated by an empirical value in certain measuring variants. For other compensations resulting from dimensional deviations, symmetrical tolerance bands are assigned to the set dimension which result in different responses.
Page 44 General 1.10 Parameters for checking the measurement result and offset Note AUTOMATIC mode AUTOMATIC operation is interrupted and the program cannot continue. An alarm text appears to warn the user. Dimensional difference check _TDIF _TDIF is active only for workpiece measurement with automatic tool offset and for tool measurement.

Glossary Actual/set difference Difference between measured and expected value. Asynchronous subroutine Part program that can be started asynchronously to (independently of) the current program status using an interrupt signal (e.g., "Rapid NC input" signal). Blank measurement The blank measurement ascertains the position, deviation, and zero offset of the workpiece in the result of a ->...
Page 538 Glossary Delete distance-to-go If a measuring point is to be approached, a traverse command is transmitted to the position control loop and the probe is moved towards the measuring point. A point behind the expected measuring point is defined as setpoint position. As soon as the probe makes contact, the actual axis value at the time the switching position is reached is measured and the drive is stopped.
Page 539 Glossary Measurement result display Measurement result displays can be shown automatically during measuring cycle runtime. Activation of this function depends on the settings in the measuring cycle data. Measuring a workpiece at an angle A measurement variant used to measure a drill-hole, shaft, groove, or web at random angles.
Page 540 Glossary Multi probe A multi(directional) probe is one that can deflect in three dimensions. Multiple measurement at the same location Parameter _NMSP can be used to determine the number of measurements at the same location. The actual/set difference is determined arithmetically. Offset angle position If a ->...
Page 541 Glossary Reference groove A groove located in the working area (permanent feature of the machine) whose precise position is known and that can be used to calibrate workpiece probes. Safe area The safe area _TSA does not affect the offset value; it is used for diagnosis. If this limit is reached, there is a defect in the probe or the set position is incorrect.
Page 542 Glossary Variable measuring speed The measuring velocity can be freely selected by means of _VMS. The maximum measuring velocity must be selected to ensure safe deceleration within the probe deflecting path. -> Measuring velocity Weighting factor for mean value calculation The weighting factor k can be applied to allow different weighting to be given to an individual measurement.
