9.2 Digitizing Range
Input data
TNC 360
The digitizing range is defined in cycle 5: RANGE. The model to be
scanned must lie within this range. You also enter the name of the file for
the digitized data as well as a clearance height for pre-positioning the
touch probe.
• PGM NAME
Name of the file in which the digitized data is to be stored
• MIN POINT RANGE
Coordinates of the lowest point in the range to be digitized
• MAX POINT RANGE
Coordinates of the highest point in the range to be digitized
• CLEARANCE HEIGHT
Position in the probe axis at which the probe cannot collide with the
model
