Measurement of tool lengths (measurement type 10)

Tool length measurement on a reference part that has already been measured ($AC_MEAS_TYPE =
10)
The tool length can be measured on a previously measured reference part.
The plane selection depends on the position of the tool:
● G17 for tool position in the z direction
● G18 for tool position in the y direction
● G19 for tool position in the x direction
Figure 7-18 Tool length measurement for the selected plane G17, G18 and G19
The values of the following variables are evaluated for measurement type 10:
Input variable
$AC_MEAS_VALID
$AA_MEAS_POINT1[axis]
$AC_MEAS_P1_COORD
$AA_MEAS_SETPOINT[axis]
$AC_MEAS_SET_COORD
$AC_MEAS_DIR_APPROACH
