Overview
You can program the cycles for tool measurement in the Programming
and Editing mode of operation via the TOUCH PROBE key. The
following cycles are available:
Differences between Cycles 31 to 33 and
Cycles 481 to 483
The features and the operating sequences are absolutely identical.
There are only two differences between Cycles 31 to 33 and Cycles
481 to 483:
„ Cycles 481 to 483 are also available in TNCs for ISO programming
under G481 to G483.
„ Instead of a selectable parameter for the status of the
measurement, the new cycles use the fixed parameter Q199.
Cycle Old format New format
Calibrating the TT
Measuring the tool length
Measuring the tool radius
Measuring tool length and
radius
The measuring cycles can be used only when the central
tool file TOOL.T is active.
Before working with the measuring cycles, you must first
enter all the required data into the central tool file and call
the tool to be measured with TOOL CALL.
You can also measure tools in a tilted working plane.
