G THE STRAIGHT PROBE COMMAND Using the straight probe command if the probe shank is kept nominally parallel to the Z axis i e any rotational axes are at zero and the tool length offset for the probe is used so that the controlled point is at the end of the tip of the probe e without additional knowledge about the probe the parallelism of a face of a part to the XY plane may for example be found e if the probe tip radius is known approximately the parallelism of a face of a part to the YZ or XZ plane may for example be found e if the shank of the probe is known to be well aligned with the Z axis and the probe tip radius is known approximately the center of a circular hole may for example be found e if the shank of the probe is known to be well aligned with the Z axis and the probe tip radius is known precisely more uses may be made of the straight probe command such as finding the diameter of a circular hole If the straightness of the probe shank cannot be adjusted to high accuracy it is desirable to know the effective radii of the probe tip in at least the X X Y and Y directions These quantities can be stored in parameters either by being included in the parameter file or by being set in an RS274 NGC program Using the probe with rotational axes not set to zero is also feasible Doing so is more complex than when rotational axes are at zero and we do not deal with it here 04 December 2015 Release 4 02 127 E
