Measure Tool - Siemens SINUMERIK 828D Operating Manual

Working with two tool carriers

17.2 Measure tool

In the simulation, the tool is always displayed on the correct side, just the same as it is used
at the machine.
The programmed C offset around 180° only affects C axes, not spindles.
It is not possible to machine a thread with tools that are distributed between both tool
holders.
G code programming
The following points must be taken into account for G code programming:
● After a tool change, tool mirroring on the second tool holder is automatically activated.
● When a TRANSMIT command is programmed, tool mirroring on the second tool holder is
automatically activated.
17.2 Measure tool
Selection options "Toolholder 1" and "Toolholder 2" are available for scratching when
measuring a tool. This is how you set the tool holder in which the tool to be measured is
located.
