Note
If the length of the drill is measured by approaching the probe from the side, then it must be
ensured that the drill to be measured does not deflect the probe in the area of the twist
groove or in the area of its drill tip.
The precondition is that the drill radius was entered in the tool offset, otherwise, an alarm will
be output.
