3.6 Tool measurement
The CNC PILOT supports tool calibration
 By touch-off. The setup dimensions are determined by comparing a
tool with an already measured tool.
 By touch probe (stationary of swiveling in the working space;
installed by the machine tool builder).
 By optical gauge (installed by the machine tool builder).
Calibration by touch-off is always available. If a touch probe or an
optical gauge is installed, select these measuring methods by soft
key.
If the tool dimensions are already known, you can enter the setup
dimensions directly in the "tool management" mode of operation.
 The compensation values are deleted during tool
measurement.
 Please note that for drilling and milling tools the center
is measured.
 The tools' type and orientation determine how they are
measured. Note the help graphics.
