Page 30: Measurement Principle
Description 1.8 Measurement principle Measurement principle Flying measurement The principle of "flying 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 31 Description 1.8 Measurement principle Measurement operation sequence using the example set edge (CYCLE978) Figure 1-7 Measurement operation sequence, example set edge (CYCLE978) The sequence is described using the measuring version, set edge (CYCLE978). The sequence is essentially the same for the other measuring cycles. The starting position for the measuring procedure is the position DFA in front of the specified set position (expected contour).
Page 32 Description 1.8 Measurement principle At the instant the switching signal is output by the probe, the current actual position is stored internally "on-the-fly" as the actual value, the measuring axis is stopped and then the "Delete distance-to-go" function is executed. The distance-to-go is the path not yet covered in the measuring block.
Page 33 Description 1.8 Measurement principle Together they produce an axis-specific velocity-dependent deceleration distance. The Kv factor is the axis MD 32200 $MA_POSCTRL_GAIN. The maximum axis acceleration / deceleration rate a is saved in axis MD 32300 $MA_MAX_AX_ACCEL . It may have a lesser effect due to other influences. Always use the lowest values of the axes involved in the measurement.

Description 1.9 Measuring strategy for measuring workpieces with tool offset Measuring strategy for measuring workpieces with tool offset The actual workpiece dimensions must be measured exactly and compared with the setpoint values to be able to determine and compensate the actual dimensional deviations on the workpiece.
Page 36 Description 1.9 Measuring strategy for measuring workpieces with tool offset The mean value calculation takes account of the trend of the dimensional deviations of a machining series. The weighting factor k from which the mean value is derived is selectable. A new measurement result affected by accidental dimensional deviations only influences the new tool offset to some extent, depending on the weighting factor.

Page 161 Measuring variants 2.3 Measure workpiece (milling) Measuring kinematics Starting from the kinematics initial state, the relevant rotary axes are measured individually. ● Rotary axes 1 or 2 can be measured in any order. If the machine kinematics only have one rotary axis, this is measured as rotary axis 1. During the measurement procedure, no 5-axis transformations (TCARR or TRAORI) are active.
Page 162 Measuring variants 2.3 Measure workpiece (milling) With the 2nd and 3rd measurements, the rotary axis to be measured is rotated around the largest possible angle. The position of the calibration ball must be stationary during the measurements. Note Measure kinematics is also possible with active 5-axis transformation (TRAORI). Preconditions for this are roughly set vectors of the 5-axis transformation.
Page 163 Measuring variants 2.3 Measure workpiece (milling) Mounting the calibration ball In the case of machinery, the calibration ball is to be installed on the machine table. In order to measure kinematics for swivel-mounted workholders, the ball must be incorporated into the appropriate workholder. In all cases it must be ensured that the probe can approach and bypass the mounted calibration ball without collision in all the selected rotary axis positions.
Page 164 Measuring variants 2.3 Measure workpiece (milling) Defining the rotary axis positions Three measuring positions (ball position) must be defined for each rotary axis. Please note that the positions of the ball in space (resulting from the three defined rotary axis positions) should lead to as large a triangle as possible being clamped.
Page 165 Measuring variants 2.3 Measure workpiece (milling) Note If the machine does not proceed as expected when the calibration ball is being scanned, the basic orientation and travel direction of the rotary axes should be checked (has DIN conformity been maintained when defining the axes?) Starting position The probe must be prepositioned in the direction of the tool orientation (ORI) above the highest point of the calibration ball (probe aligned with ball center point).
Page 166 Measuring variants 2.3 Measure workpiece (milling) Calculating and activating the swivel data sets After measuring the three ball positions that are required in each case for all the relevant rotary axes, the entire set of swivel data sets can be calculated by means of CYCLE996. CYCLE996 should be parameterized and called for this purpose.
Page 167 Measuring variants 2.3 Measure workpiece (milling) Primarily, the calculated rotary axis vectors enable an assessment to be made regarding the mechanical desired/actual state of the kinematics. Depending on the kinematics configuration, even the smallest and corrected deviations in the position of the rotary axis vectors can result in large compensating movements.

Page 273: Glossary
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). Calibration When calibrating, the trigger points of the probe are identified and saved in the cycle setting data from SD 54600.
Page 274 Glossary Dimension difference check Is a tolerance parameter, and when a limit ( ) is reached the tool is probably worn and S_DIF must be replaced. The dimension difference check has no effect on generation of the compensation value. Empirical value The empirical values are used to suppress constant dimensional deviations that are not subject to a trend.
Page 275 Glossary Measurement result display Measurement result displays can be shown automatically during measuring cycle runtime. The function is dependent on the settings in the channel-specific SD 55613 $SCS_MEA_RESULT_DISPLAY. Measuring accuracy The measurement accuracy that can be obtained is dependent on the following factors: ●...
Page 276 Glossary Multi probe A multi(directional) probe is one that can deflect in three dimensions. Multiple measurement at the same location Parameter can be used to determine the number of measurements at the same point. S_NMSP The actual/set difference is determined arithmetically. Offset angle position When using a →...
Page 277 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 does not affect the offset value; it is used for diagnostics. If this limit is S_TSA reached, there is a defect in the probe or the set position is incorrect.
