Changing to a tool of unknown length in DRO mode
If you are in the DRO mode and need to set a new tool, do the following:
 Place the tool in the spindle.
 From the DRO mode, press the TOOL key.
 Enter the tool diameter, delete any data in the Length field.
 Enter the necessary data in the remaining fields where applicable.
 Press the GO key.
An Operator intervention message will appear asking you to “use” the
selected tool.
 Press the GO key to confirm that you have installed the tool.
At this point, your program’s tool length offsets are not valid. Follow
the steps below to reestablish the Z axis datum and tool length offsets
for your program.
 Position the tool over the surface where the Datum was established
for the other tools.
 Touch the tip of the tool to the top surface.
 Press the Teach Tool Length soft key.

will now add this tool to the known tool offsets, and the
program’s tool length offsets are now valid.
This tool length offset is only valid while the tool is mounted. Once
this tool is removed, these steps must be repeated to re-establish the
tool length when it is used again.
