For more information, please refer to the table.
The measuring software is required in order to use the possibilities
offered by the temperature-sensing probe.
• Please read the corresponding chapters in the operating instruc-
tions for the measuring software.
Operating mode
The CMM allows measuring in two operating modes: manual and
automatic.
MAN operating mode
In the manual mode the workpiece is probed by means of the joy-
sticks. The joysticks are located on the control console

Possibility Comment
Temperature com-
pensation When using the temperature-sensing probe for
temperature compensation, the measuring
time after positioning the temperature-sensing
probe is approximately five seconds. During
this time, measured values are continuously
transferred, evaluated and saved.
Inclusion of the
temperature-sens-
ing probe in a CNC
program If the temperature-sensing probe is to be
included in a measuring run, the position of
the temperature sensor must be known before-
hand.
• Determine the position of the temperature-
sensing probe.
Temperature moni-
toring It is possible to define limiting values for the
temperature. Furthermore, it is possible to
define when the temperature measurement is
to be carried out.
There are two possibilities if the limiting value is
exceeded: A warning appears in the record or
the CNC program is cancelled.
Temperature check The ambient air temperature can be measured
at any time. The temperature is compared with
the limiting valuess.
There are two possibilities when the limiting
values is exceeded: A warning appears in the
record or the CNC program is cancelled.
Temperature
recording If the data from the last temperature measure-
ment is required, the temperatures of the
workpiece and the air can be recorded.
