5 Select the desired tool.
While status indication OFST is blinking on the tool length offset
measurement screen, a T code and M code can be programmed in
manual handle feed or jog feed mode (manual numeric command).
Key in Ttttt, and then press the cycle start button on the machine
operator's panel or MDI panel. Then, select the tool to be
measured by Ttttt. Next, M06 is generally entered and executed
to position the tool to the spindle. Now, the target tool is set at the
spindle position. Position the cursor to the tool offset number
corresponding to the tool length offset to be set. Generally, the
operator positions the cursor on the offset number. Some
machines can automatically position the cursor to the
corresponding tool offset number upon the completion of tool
selection if the QNI bit (bit 6 of parameter 6002) is set to 1.
6 Bring the tool into contact with the measurement surface of the
workpiece or reference block by means of manual handle feed or
jog feed.
7 Press the [MEASURE] soft key. The tool length offset is set in the
tool offset memory. In tool offset memory B or C, the tool length
offset is set as a tool geometry offset, and the tool wear offset is
set to 0. The cursor does not move from the tool offset number. To
automatically position the cursor to the next tool offset number
after the setting is completed, press the [MEASUR+] soft key.
8 When the tool length offset is set, the tool automatically moves to
the tool replacement position set by the TC2 bit (bit 0 of
parameter 6003) and the TC3 bit (bit 1 of parameter 6003).
9 The procedure for measuring the tool length offset of a single tool
is completed. For other tools, repeat steps 5 to 8.
10 When the tool length offset measurement of all tools is completed,
turn off the tool length offset measurement mode switch on the
machine operator's panel. OFST stops blinking on the tool length
offset measurement screen.
NOTE
When WNM (bit 2 of parameter No. 7697) is set to 1,
program commands (T and M codes) cannot be
specified on the tool length offset setting screen. In
addition, movement to the tool-change position is not
made after the tool length offset is set.
