2.3 Test series on the machine
2.3.1 Performing measurement series
Perform measurement
The following alternatives are available for performing measurements on the ma-
chine:
•
Performing a single measurement with manual entry of parameters before per-
forming the actual test
•
Performance of a single measurement as the repetition of an existing meas-
urement without changing the parameters
•
Performance of a further measurement as part of a series of measurements,
based on the parameters predefined in the measurement series
•
Performance of a measurement of a measurement series prescribed by a
maintenance job
•
Performance of measurements configured in a test series
•
Performance of measurements in a test series by means of a maintenance job
•
Performance of measurements in a test series without a machine operator, by
means of a maintenance job under the control of the PLC.
Availability and privileges
Measurements, measurement series, and test series can only be performed on the
operator panel. The authorization required to perform measurements, measure-
ment series, and test series is described in detail in the Appendix.
Measurement sequence
The sequence is performed as follows independently of the different types of exe-
cution and type of test:
•
Machine operator selects measurement, measurement series, or test series
•
Confirmation of the parameters of the measurement and display of the meas-
urement series contained in the test series
•
A contour test to check collision can be performed before the actual measure-
ment
•
Check release by the PLC
•
Machine operator sets AUTO mode and feedrate override to 100% on the con-
trol
•
Machine operator presses NC START on the control
•
Perform machine-specific prolog of the measurement movement
•
Perform the measurement movement with data recording
•
Perform machine-specific epilog of the measurement movement
