TOOL TOUCH-OFF PROCEDURE
This is the next step in setting up an Automatic Tool Changing (ATC)
machine once the spoil board is prepared and in place.
1)
Go to the TOOLS screen.
2)
Select the tool you wish to measure with the drop-down selector in the
upper left of the screen.
3)
With the correct tool selected press Execute Touchoff
4)
The machine will then put the tool away if one is in the spindle and pick up
the tool you requested to measure.
5)
The measuring is performed by moving in X and Y to a position over the
tool switch and slowly lowering the Z axis until the switch is made. The
machine now knows the length of the tool and thus Z Zero is now the top
of the phenolic table.
