The following output variables are written for measurement type 28:
Output variable Meaning
$AC_MEAS_FRAME Result with rotation
7.5.4 Tool measuring
The control calculates the distance between the tool tip and the tool carrier reference point T
from the tool length specified by the user.
The following measurement types can be used to measure a tool loaded on a turning or
milling machine:
Measurement types Tool measuring
$AC_MEAS_TYPE = 10 Tool lengths on a reference part that has already been measured
$AC_MEAS_TYPE = 11 Tool diameter on a reference part that has already been measured
$AC_MEAS_TYPE = 22 Tool diameters on machines with zoom-in function (ShopTurn)
$AC_MEAS_TYPE = 23 Tool lengths with stored or current positions (ShopTurn)
Measurement of a tool length of two tools with the following orientation:
Two turning tools with:
Their own reference point each for tool orientation in the approach
direction.
One reference point for tool position that is opposite to the approach
direction and tool orientation.
Two milling tools with:
Their own reference point each for tool orientation in -y.
One reference point for tool position in -y and a tool position opposite to
the approach direction.
Two milling tools rotated 90 degrees with:
Their own reference point each for tool orientation in the approach
direction.
One reference point for a tool position that is opposite to the approach
direction and tool orientation.
