For determining the tool dimensions, you can also use a magnifying
glass if it is available on the machine.
During this, ShopTurn calculates the tool offset data from the known
positions of the tool-carrier reference point and the cross-hairs of the
magnifying glass..
Select the "Meas. tool" softkey in "Machine Manual" mode.
Press the "Zoom" softkey.
Press the "Tools" softkey.
Select the tool to be measured from the tool list. The cutting edge
position and the radius or diameter of the tool must be entered in
the tool list.
Press the "Back to manual" softkey.
Traverse the tool to the magnifying glass (see Sec. "Traversing
the Axes").
Bring the tool tip P into alignment with the cross-hairs of the
magnifying glass.
Press the "Set length" softkey.
The tool lengths are calculated and entered in the tool list. During this,
the cutting edge position and tool radius or diameter are automatically
taken into consideration as well.
