Indexing Head with Cylinder or Disc Tip

An excerpt from the DMIS Handbook

DMIS statement for creating a cylinder or disc tip.

Syntax:

S(name)=SNSDEF/PROBE,type,POL,rot1(A),rot2(B),i, j, k, len ,dia, tip(,value)

Example:

S(DISK1)=SNSDEF/PROBE,FIXED,POL,0,0,0,0,1,115,12,DISC,3

The above defines a disc tip (DISK1) that is a fixed probe with a angular rotation of 0/0. The mounting vector is 0, 0, 1 with a length (from pivot center to the tip center) of 115.

The disc diameter is 12mm with a 3mm thickness.

Note: discs and cylinder tips should be used bi-directional, in other words normal to a work plane and not 3 dimensional as a sphere tip would be used.
