3.2.1 Measure tools manually in JOG
☑ Basic configuration
The tool compensation values can be directly determined during machine setup. To this end,
the SINUMERIK 802D sl pro offers graphical support for measuring tool length and diameter:
● Enter the dimensions by scratching the edge of the workpiece with the tool. The tool
offset data is automatically calculated using the position of the tool-carrier reference point
and the position of the workpiece edge; the data is then stored in the tool list.
● Tool diameter can be measured in X-axis or Y-axis direction.
● If required, the measurements of a spacer block can be entered directly (X
0,
Y
0
and Z
0
).
Highlight
● Save time during tool setup by seeing exactly what you are doing.
