2.8.4 Tool measuring in AUTOMATIC - process measuring

A practical measuring cycle is provided to facilitate the process measuring of tools. The cycle
determines the length and the diameter of the tool using a calibrated dynamometer.
You can access the measuring cycles in the NC program by selecting the Measure mill >
Measure tool softkeys from the expanded softkey bar.
Requirements
The dynamometer is calibrated
The tool is clamped
In automatic mode, you can automatically measure the tool data or enter it as tool compensation.
2.8.5 Example for measuring tools in the AUTOMATIC
mode
In the following example, you will generate a program that determines the tool length and the
radius and enters this data into the tool compensation.
Determining the tool length:
Create a new program for measuring the tool.
Select Measure tool measuring cycle.
The measuring process is performed with stationary spindle and the measured values are
entered into the tool geometry component
Select the length as measured value
for tool breakage.
Assign parameters to the measuring process
