Probing cycle <WProbing>

<WProbing> is used for probing operations. It measures a part or tool based on one of the selected cycles using approach and return to the beginning of the cycle. Each cycle has its own toolpath, touch points and parameters on the basis of which further calculations are made.

<WProbing> stores parameters by code, and not by index, like other cycles of the <EXTCYCLE> command.

Below are examples of syntax for working:

  • Postprocessor:

  • .Net Postprocessor

You can see a more detailed example of measurement cycles inside the distribution Fanuc (30i)_Mill_DN.dll postprocessor.

Subtype of probing cycles has "500" value.

Сmd operator (parameters with a unique code) is described here.

OnProbeExtCycle handler

Separate <OnProbeExtCycle> handler has been added for .net postprocessor which performs on EXTCYCLE CLData command for the probing cycles case (which SubCode is 500).

Declaration of < OnProbeExtCycle > handler :

public virtual void OnProbeExtCycle ( ICLDExtCycleCommand cmd, CLDArray cld )

Parameters:

Type

Name

Description

ICLDExtCycleCommand

cmd

The current CLData command.

CLDArray

cld

The cld array of the command.
