The diameter of the probe (the
measured value will be shown after
calibrating)
The thickness of the probe
1. Select the desired operating area.
2. Switch to "JOG" mode.
3. Open the lower-level menu for tool measurement.
4. Open the auto tool measurement window.
5. Press this vertical softkey to enter the probe calibration screen.
6. Move the calibrating tool until it is approximately over the center of the
measuring surface of the tool probe.
You can use the following vertical softkey to choose whether to calibrate
the tool length and diameter, or to calibrate the tool length only:
7. Press this key to start the calibration process.
The calibrating tool traverses automatically at the measurement feedrate
to the probe and gets back again. The position of the tool probe is
determined and saved in an internal data area.
During the automatic measurement, a dial gauge symbol displays, which
indicated that the measuring process is active.
