5 Setting a Tool and a Workpiece
Tool length measurement II
When the tool is at the machine coordinate zero point, the distance from the machine coordinate zero point to the tool tip
is measured, and can be set as tool compensation data.
Machine coordinate zero point
Note
(1) The tool measurement type is determined based on TLM reference length (parameter "#2016 tlml+" (TLM standard
length)) of measurement axes (tool length measurement axis and tool radius measurement axis) at each measurement
mode. When parameter "#2016 tlml+" (TLM standard length) is set to "0", and "Surface hight #0 = 0" is set, the tool
measurement type is tool length measurement I.

Start
Confirm the value of the operation parameter
"tlml".
When using the gauge block, etc., set the value
of the reference surface height.
Using a reference position return, etc., position
the tool at the basic point.
Select the measurement tool.
Turn ON the TLM switch of the machine
operation board.
Using JOG feed, manual handle feed, etc.,
move the tool to the measurement point.
When the measurement is completed,
designate the tool compensation No.
