8.5.4 Tool measuringThe control calculates the distance between the tool tip and the tool carrier reference point Tfrom the tool length specified by the user.The following measurement types can be used to measure a tool loaded on a turning or millingmachine:Measurement types Tool measuring$AC_MEAS_TYPE = 10 Tool lengths on a reference part that has already been measured$AC_MEAS_TYPE = 11 Tool diameter on a reference part that has already been measured$AC_MEAS_TYPE = 22 Tool diameters on machines with zoom-in function (ShopTurn)$AC_MEAS_TYPE = 23 Tool lengths with stored or current positions (ShopTurn)Measurement of a tool length of two tools with the following orientation:Two turning tools with:Their own reference point each for tool orientation in the approach direction.One reference point for tool position that is opposite to the approach direc‐tion and tool orientation.Two milling tools with:Their own reference point each for tool orientation in -y.One reference point for tool position in -y and a tool position opposite to theapproach direction.Two milling tools rotated 90 degrees with:Their own reference point each for tool orientation in the approach direction.One reference point for a tool position that is opposite to the approachdirection and tool orientation.8.5.5 Types of workpiece measurement8.5.5.1 Measurement of tool lengths (measurement type 10)Tool length measurement on a reference part that has already been measured ($AC_MEAS_TYPE =10)The tool length can be measured on a previously measured reference part.M5: Measurement8.5 Setting zeros, workpiece measuring and tool measuringExtended FunctionsFunction Manual, 10/2015, 6FC5397-1BP40-5BA3 559
