Program code Comment
DEF INT RETVAL
T0 D0
g0 x0 y0 z0 f10000
; Measure tool length
$AC_MEAS_VALID = 0 ; Set all input values to invalid
g1 z10 ; Move tool towards reference part
$AC_MEAS_LATCH[0] = 1 ; Pick up measuring point 1
$AC_MEAS_DIR_APPROACH = 5 ; Set approach direction -z
$AA_MEAS_SETPOINT[x] = 0 ; Set reference position
$AA_MEAS_SETPOINT[y] = 0
$AA_MEAS_SETPOINT[z] = 0
$AC_MEAS_ACT_PLANE = 0 ; Measuring plane is G17
$AC_MEAS_T_NUMBER = 0 ; No tool has been selected
$AC_MEAS_D_NUMBER = 0
$AC_MEAS_TYPE = 10 ; Set measuring type on tool length
RETVAL = MEASURE() , Start measuring process
if RETVAL <> 0 setal(61000 + RETVAL)
endif
if $AC_MEAS_TOOL_LENGTH <> 10 ; Query known tool length
setal(61000 + $AC_MEAS_TOOL_LENGTH)
endif
