4. Press the "X" or "Z" softkey, depending on which tool length you want to
measure.
5. Manually position the tool in the vicinity of the tool probe in such a way
that any collisions can be avoided when the tool probe is being traversed
in the corresponding direction.
6. Press the <CYCLE START> key.
This starts the automatic measuring process. The tool is traversed with
the measurement feedrate to the probe and back again.
The tool length is calculated and entered in the tool list. Whereby the
cutting edge position and tool radius or diameter are automatically taken
into consideration as well.
When you measure turning tools with orientable tool carrier around Y
using any positions (not multiples of 90°) of the swivel axis, then it should
be taken into consideration that the turning tool is measured with the same
tool position in both axes X/Z, assuming that this is possible.
4.5.11 Logging tool measurement results
After measuring a tool, you have the option to output the measured values to a log.
The following data are determined and logged:
● Date/time
● Log name with path
● Measuring version
● Input values
● Correction target
● Setpoints, measured values and differences
Note
Logging active
The measurement results can only be entered into a log once the measurement has been fully
completed.
