Acu-Rite CNC 3500i user manual Inside/Outside Web Finding, 227

Inside/Outside Web Finding

An inside Web is a slot. An outside Web is a standing rib. Webs can only be measured in the X- or Y-axis.

Calibrate the work probe at least once before trying to use this cycle.

A preliminary tool-length offset must be set by eye for the work probe. The tool offset, and work coordinate must be active before using this cycle in a program. See Section 4, "Tool-Length Offsets" on page 73.

The G145 Inside or Outside Web Finding Cycle can be run from within a program or from the Manual Data Input Mode.

Field	Code	Description
Side	Q	Inside or Outside.
		0 = Inside Hole 1 = Outside Boss
		(Required)
Length	X	Estimated X width of Web if measuring in
		the X-axis. X or Y must be specified; but
		only one, not both.
Width	Y	Estimated Y width of Web if measuring in
		the Y-axis. X or Y must be specified; but
		only one, not both.
Top	H	If set to 1, the cycle finds the top of the part
		before finding center of Web. If Q
		parameter is set to 1, H is forced to 1 as
		well; otherwise, the Default is: 0.
		(Optional)
DistDown	E	The distance to go down from the top of
		part to find X or Y coordinate of the center.
		This is only used if H parameter is set to 1.
		Without any E value, the cycle brings the
		probe stylus center down past the top of
		the part after finding the top, 0.1" (2.54
		mm). (Optional)
DistBack	V	Specifies the distance away from the edge
		for the probe to fast feed to before trying to
		find it. Default is: 0.1" (2.54 mm) if not set.
		(Optional)
DistInX	A	The distance from the starting point to
		move in the X-axis to find the top of the
		part. The default, if Q is not set or set to 0,
		is 0.1" beyond the edge of the web. If Q is
		set to 1, the default is the current probe
		position. (Optional)
