☑ Basic configuration

and diameter in the machine. To this end, the SINUMERIK 802D sl pro offers graphical
support for automatic measuring and for calibrating the tool probe.
● To measure the tool diameter and length, simply move the tool near the probe.
● Click "Start". When the probe detects the tool, the controller automatically calculates the
tool geometry.
