Insert the tool that you want to measure.

If the tool is to be measured using a tool carrier that can be orientated,

then at this position the tool should be aligned in the same way that it

will be subsequently measured.

Select "JOG" mode in the "Machine" operating area.

Press the "Meas. tool" and "Automatic" softkeys.

Press the "X" or "Z" softkey, depending on which tool length you want

Select the cutting edge number D of the tool.

This is only necessary if you make the measurement without using a

tool carrier that can be orientated.

Manually position the tool in the vicinity of the tool probe in such a way

that any collisions can be avoided when the tool probe is being

traversed in the corresponding direction.

Press the <CYCLE START> key.

The automatic measuring process is started, i.e. the tool is traversed

at the measurement feedrate to the probe and back again.

The tool length is calculated and entered in the tool list. Whereby the

cutting edge position and tool radius or diameter are automatically

taken into consideration as well.

If turning tools with tool carrier that can be oriented are measured

around Y using any positions (not multiples of 90°) of the swivel axis,

then it should be taken into consideration that the turning tool is

measured with the same tool position in both axes X/Z, assuming that

this is possible.
