•
make sure the down movement of the spindle at the given location will be possible and
the tool will be able to reach the plate without problems.
•
Make sure the tool will be able to reach the lowest location of your project. If, e.g. the
spindle is installed high and the tool is short, it may not be possible for the tool to reach
the measuring plate or the table, in which case the spindle may reach its lowest position
and attempt – without success – further down movement. In this case, stop the measuring
process, home the machine, correct the problem (lower the spindle or use a longer tool)
and repeat the process.
•
Ensure the measuring plate works properly [apples to automatic measurement].
Touch the spindle with the measuring plate. If the small
letter
t
turns into a capital
T
, it means the automatic tool
length measurement is working properly.
Automatic tool length measurement
The automatic tool length measurement is done with the measuring plate described above. The
spindle will slowly move down until it tool reaches the plate. Once done, the tool length is
automatically saved and the spindle will move back up.
To ensure the measurement is precise, make sure the measuring plate is clean, the surface under
the plate is clean and flat and the pad thickness is specified properly in the software (Configuration \
Ploter \ Pad thickness).
