2.6.2 Example: Measure tool in JOG
Function
The "Measure tool" function permits the following functions:
Calibrating a dynamometer (calibrate)
Determining the tool length or the radius of milling tools or the tool length of drills and entering
this data into the tool offset memory
Requirements for using cycles
The measuring cycles must have been installed
The tool must have been loaded
The dynamometer must have been calibrated and must be active
You can specify additional tool data for face
milling depending on the tool type.
In an NC program, the control system uses
this data and path corrections G41, G42 -
defined in the program - to execute the neces-
sary path and length corrections.
