Measuring a tool with an electrical tool probe
For automatic measurement, you determine the length and radius or diameter of the tool with
the aid of a tool probe (table contact system). The control uses the known positions of the
toolholder reference point and tool probe to calculate the tool offset data.
Use the softkey to select whether you want to measure the radius or the diameter of the tool.
The corresponding windows can be adapted to the measurement tasks in order to
automatically measure tools.
Adapting the user interface to the measurement functions
The following selection options can be switched-in or switched-out:
