Tool measuring in JOG
Measuring principle
The employed tool is traversed to the probe by the user in JOG mode using the traverse
keys or handwheel. When the probe switches, the movement is stopped automatically and
switched internally to AUTOMATIC mode, and a measuring program is launched. The
measuring program controls the real measurement sequence with a second approach of the
probe and further positioning. In the end the tool offsets are entered and JOG mode is
activated again.
Advantage: The entered offset values before measuring the tool can deviate entirely from the
actual values. The tools must not be "pre-measured".
Note
The tool is "re-measured", not its wear.
Softkeys and templates are provided for use by the user in JOG mode. This supports the
user during tool measuring.

/BP_/ Operation and Programming
Note
The PLC user program must be created with the necessary sequences. The functionality is
not available beforehand.
Extreme caution must be taken when approaching the probe. The probes only have a limited
deflection path. They will be damaged or destroyed if this is exceeded! Observe the
manufacturers instructions!
In particular, the approach speed should be reduced to such an extent that the probe can
always be stopped promptly. "Rapid traverse override" may not be active.
The screen forms provided and the sequence depend on the technology. Accordingly, the
following used tool types can be measured:
Turning technology
●
Turning tool (geometry length 1 and length 2)
●
Drill (geometry length 1)
Milling technology
●
Milling tool (geometry length 1 and geometry radius)
●
Drill (geometry length 1)
