Individually checking teeth
Before or after machining you can check if any cutting edges of the milling tool have broken
off.
If it is noticed during the check of the cutting edges that not all cutting edges or teeth are
present, you will receive a corresponding message.
Procedure
1. Insert the tool that you want to measure.
2. Select the "JOG" mode in the "Machine" operating area.
3. Press the "Meas. tool" softkey.
4. Press the "Length auto" softkey if you want to measure the length of the
tool.
- OR -
Press the "Radius auto" or "Diam. auto", if you wish to measure the radius
or diameter of the tool.
5. Select the cutting edge number D and the number of the replacement
tool ST.
6. If you wish to check the cutting edges of the milling tool, then click "Yes"
under "Check teeth individually".
7. If you require a tool offset, select "Yes" or "Auto" in "Tool offset".
8. Enter the tool offset "ΔV" and select the direction and the axis.
9. Press the <CYCLE START> key.
This starts the automatic measuring process. When you measure the tool
radius or diameter, measurement is performed with a spindle rotating in
the opposite direction.
The tool length, respectively the tool radius or diameter, is calculated
automatically and entered in the tool list.
Note
Tool measurement is only possible with an active tool.
