9.10 TOOL LENGTH/WORKPIECE ORIGIN MEASUREMENT
The length of a tool can be measured by executing a program command
for automatic tool length measurement (G37) (Section II-16.5,
"Automatic Tool Length Measurement" in Programming) or by
manually moving the tool to the top surface of the workpiece or the like
(Section II-9.8, "Manual Tool Length Measurement"). With tool
length/workpiece origin measurement, tool length measurement can be
simplified, and the setup for machining can be easily made in a short
time. The workpiece origin offset can also be measured easily.
On the tool length offset measurement screen, a T code, M code or
reference position return can be specified by a manual numeric
command.
