Tech/Engineering - Metrology / Messmaschinen
German term or phrase: Zielfahren
Noch eine letzte Frage zur Beschreibung einer Messmaschine, die nicht nur manuell, sondern auch im CNC-Modus im Fräsbetrieb eingesetzt werden kann:
Es geht um das Bedienpult (control panel):

"Das Bedienpult wird eingesetzt, um den Anwender im Einrichtbetrieb für Messaufgaben zu unterstützen. Dazu gehört das einfache Abnullen von Achsen, die Definition von Zwischenpositionen, eine besondere Funktionstaste für Abbruch und das sogenannte *Zielfahren* - bei Aktivierung dieser Taste in Kombination mit der Achsbewegung fährt die Maschine bis zum Werkstück und löst dort automatisch aus."

Hat jemand eine Idee für den Begriff *Zielfahren*?

Vielen Dank!

Ja, "Homing" scheint mir auch besser zu sein.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Danke für deine Hilfe. "Travel to target" fand ich ganz gut, jedoch denke ich, dass "Homing" hier die passendste Lösung ist.
