Measuring tools on milling machines, machining centers

Tool probe
Figure 1-4
Tool probes have their own data fields in the general setting data:
● For machine-related measurement/calibration:
● For workpiece-related measurement/calibration:
The triggering points (switching points), upper disk diameter and edge length are entered
here.
Approximate values must be entered here before calibration – if cycles are used in automatic
mode. The cycle will then recognize the position of the probe.
The default setting has data fields for three probes. Up to 99 are possible.
