SequenceThe calibrating tool must be a turning tool type (roughing or finishing tool). Cutting edgepositions 1 - 4 can be used for the tool probe calibration. You must enter the length and theradius or diameter of the calibrating tool in the tool list.Calibrate the probe in all directions in which you wish to subsequently perform measurements.Procedure1. Change the calibrating tool.2. Select the "JOG" mode in the "Machine" operating area.3. Press the "Meas. tool" and "Calibrate probe" softkeys.4. Press the "X" or "Z" softkey, depending on which point of the tool probeyou wish to determine first.5. Select the direction (+ or -), in which you would like to approach the toolprobe.6. Position the calibrating tool in the vicinity of the tool probe in such a waythat any collisions can be avoided when the first point of the tool probe isbeing approached.7. Press the key.The calibration process is started, i.e. the calibrating tool is automaticallytraversed at the measurement feedrate to the probe and back again. Theposition of the tool probe is determined and saved in an internal data area.8. Repeat the process for the other other points of the tool probe.4.5.4 Measuring a tool with a magnifying glassYou can also use a magnifying glass to determine the tool dimensions, if this is available onthe machine.In this case, SINUMERIK Operate calculates the tool offset data from the known positions ofthe tool carrier reference point and the cross-hairs of the magnifying glass.NoteLathes with B axisFor lathes with a B axis, execute the tool change and alignment in the T, S, M window beforeperforming the measurement.Setting up the machine4.5 Measuring the toolTurning82 Operating Manual, 05/2017, A5E40868721
