5. 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.
6. Press the <CYCLE START> key.
This starts the automatic measuring process. The tool is traversed with
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.
When you measure turning tools with orientable tool carrier 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.
1. You are in the "JOG" mode and have pressed the "Measure tool" softkey.
The "Measurement log" softkey cannot be used.
2. Insert the tool, select the measuring version and measure the tool as
usual.
The tool data are displayed once the measurement has been completed.
3. Press the "Measurement log" softkey to save the measurement data as
log.
The "Measurement log" softkey becomes inactive again.
