The corresponding windows can be adapted to the measurement tasks in order to
automatically measure tools.
Adapting the user interface to calibrating and measuring functions
The following selection options can be switched-in or switched-out:
● Calibration plane, measurement plane
● Probe
● Calibration feedrate (measuring feedrate)
Requirements
● No function-related settings are necessary after the measuring cycles have been installed.
● Before the actual measurement, enter approximate values for length, radius or diameter of
the tool in the tool list.
● Calibrate the probe first.
Tool offset
Some tool types require an offset for correct length measurement.
The following settings are available:
● Auto
With a tool that is larger than the probe, the tool edge is set on the center of the probe.
You can specify an offset correction in the ΔV input field. Select the direction and axis in
the adjacent selection field.
● Yes
The tool edge is positioned centrally on the probe.
You can specify an offset correction in the ΔV input field. Select the direction and axis in
the adjacent selection field.
● No
The tool is positioned centrally on the probe.
The fields for the offset correction and specification of the axis and direction are not
available.
If the measurement shows that the length of the tool diameter is greater than the probe
diameter, measurement is automatically performed with rotating spindle.
