Milling tool (CYCLE982)

Function
This measuring version can be used to measure a milling tool on a turning machine (lathe).
The following measurements can be performed:
● Length
● Radius
● Length and radius
The measuring cycle checks whether the difference to be corrected with respect to the old
tool length or to the old tool radius lies within a defined tolerance range:
● Upper limits: Safe area TSA and dimensional difference control DIF,
● Lower limit: Work offset range TZL.
If this range is not violated, the new tool length is accepted in the tool offset, otherwise an
alarm is output. Violation of the lower limit is not corrected.
The tool length correction is is realized depending on the particular turning machine (lathe).
The length assignment (L1 in X, L2 in Y) to the geometry axes is realized just the same as
for a turning tool.
Measuring principle
For a "complete" measurement, all measured variables that can be determined (lengths L1
and L2 and radius) are determined. In both axes (for G18: Z and X) of the plane, probing
action is performed with respect to the probe, whereby the measurement starts with the 1st
axis of the plane (for G18: Z).
For an "axis by axis" measurement, the measured variables are measured corresponding to
the selection "only length (L1 or L2)", "only radius" or "length (L1 or L2) and radius" only in
the parameterized measuring axis of the active plane.
