4.2 Measuring Tool Lengths
Tomeasurethelengthofatoolforuseintheautomatictoolchanger,theoperatormustrstbe
surethat“TableZero”isset.
Afterthe“TableZero”isset,theoperatorcanchangetothetoolthatneedstobemeasured.
Oncetheoperatorhasthecorrecttool,theoperatorcanclick“MeasureTool”
This will start the automatic tool measuring cycle.
Themachinewillraiseup,movetothexedtoolprobeandslowlylowerdownuntilittouchesthe
pad.
Onceittouchesthepad,itwillraiseup,signiyingthetoolhasbeenlearned.
Notes about Measuring Tool Lengths
The tool measuring process has many checks to ensure that the machine will perform properly
and not cause damage to itself, the tools, or the operator.
These checks include:
Air Pressure (90-120 psi)
Spindle Status
Chuck Status
Shroud Position
Incaseatoolchangestallsorfails,makesurethattheseaboverequirmentsarechecked.
Tool lengths are rewritable. So relearning a tool length will overwrite the previous recorded
length.
When a tool length is learned, the Z axis cooridinates will dispaly a BLUE box next to its position.
WARNING: Spoilboard cutter or any other cutter with dome bottoms cannot be set using
the touch pad.

After“TableZero”hasbeenset,theoperatorshouldchangetotheirregulartool.

andonceinposition,press“SetThisTool”
