7.1 Tool measurement
7 Measuring in JOG Mode
(SINUMERIK 880/880 GA2)
The function MEASURING IN JOG mode contains the following functions:
• Semi-automatic determining of tool lengths and storing of values in tool offset memory,
• semi-automatic determining of workpiece zero and storing of value in zero offset memory.
The functions are operated via softkeys and input displays. Incremental traversing (INC) is
disabled in MEASURING IN JOG mode. The measuring process is aborted with RESET or on
mode change.
Caution!
Please make sure that you select the correct channel as the function MEASURING IN JOG
mode is channel-dependent. If the incorrect channel is selected and the measuring process is
activated the probe may be damaged.
The measuring function is selected from the row of softkeys in the JOG basic display.

7.1 Tool measurement
With this function it is possible to measure tools which are in the machine without previously
having to enter the geometry data in a tool offset memory. This means that tools with unknown
lengths can be measured.
The tool lengths can be entered in a tool offset memory automatically and are then
immediately available for machining of the workpiece.
Prerequisites:
• The reference points have already been approached.
• The starting conditions for automatic mode have been fulfilled.
• The tool probe is swivelled in or retracted.
• The tool probe has been calibrated with measuring cycle L972/L975.
• Plane correctly defined, initial setting.
