When a new tool is inserted in the tool magazine and its length is unknown,
press this push-button. The background of field “Tool length” becomes yellow
and the maximum possible value is automatically inserted. When this tool has
to be used, the system measures its length with the photocell (optional) placed
near the tool magazine before to perform the drilling operation. The value ob-
tained is used for all the subsequent drilling operation of this tool.
When a new tool is inserted in the tool magazine, it is not an inserts drill and
its length is unknown, press this push-button. The background of field “Tool
length” becomes yellow. At the first use of this drill, the CNC measures its
length with a special drilling cycle, which has a slow approach speed. The val-
ue obtained is used for all the subsequent drilling operation of this tool.
The sensitive cycle could be performed only with drill of helicoidal type
and not for the inserts one because they could be measured only by
photocell to avoid breakage.
