6.5 Probe Measurement
The probe function {
} allows the operator to set an axis value or measure a work-
piece feature. There are different modes of operation for this.
The basic modes of operation are:
a. Datum Axis {
}
b. Linear Measurement mode {
}
c. Angle Measurement mode {
}
d. Diameter Measurement mode {
}
Datum Axis: This is the most basic operation of the probe. Here an axis can
be loaded with a datum position as determined by a probe touch.
Operation:
a. Press {
} key to enter in axis datum mode.
b. Select the required Axis by pressing [
] key.
o
Message windows shows [Probe – Datum]
o

o
The axis display shows ‘---’
c. Move the axis to the desired datum point. When probe is sensed the datum
for the selected axis sets at the probe point.
d. The Operator needs to press {
} to go the basic probe window.
Following display will be seen
Note
: Whenever Datum or Half function is executed DRO automatically changes from
incremental to absolute mode.
Note
: All other axes continue to display as normal. If multiple axes require being
datumed then they must be done one at a time using the procedure above.
Note:
If touch probe is used probe event can be captured on contact with the job.
