5 Setting a Tool and a Workpiece
Simple operation mode
(Example) Carrying out tool measurement for compensation No. 3, X axis
(1) Select the tool to be measured with manual numeri-
cal value command. (Refer to "8.4 Manual Numerical
Value Command" for details.)
(2) Move the cursor to the position to input the measure-
ment result (compensation No.3).
(3) Move the tool to the side surface of the workpiece. (In
the case of Z-axis move the tool to the end surface of
the workpiece.)
(4) Press the address key of the axis to measure or the
menu [Measure X], without retracting the tool.
(5) To measure the other axes at the same time, repeat
(3) to (4).
(6) Retract the tool and measure the workpiece.
(7) Measure the workpiece and set the offset value from
the tool position (side surface of the workpiece) to the
program zero-point.
(Example) 10 [INPUT]
(8) To set the "Prg zero offset (L)" of the other axes, re-
peat (7).
(Example) 5 [INPUT]
(9) Press the menu [Offset write].
IB-1501453-C
The cursor is displayed at compensation No.3.
Save the measurement result. The memorized value is
displayed at "Prg zero offset (L)", and the cursor moves
to "Work meas".
The operation message "Input program Z-point offset"
displays.
Save the measurement value of the selected axis.
Saved value is displayed in the measurement area. The
cursor will not move from the top line.
The value 10 is set in the top line of "Prg zero offset (L)".
If there are two or more axes to measure, the cursor
moves down to the next line.
<Note>
Compensation amount is written in diameter value
for diameter command, or in radius value for radius
command.
The value "5" is set to the 2nd line of "Work meas".
<Note>
Compensation amount is written in diameter value
for diameter command, or in radius value for radius
command.
The result of "Meas val - Prg zero offset (L)" will be set
as the compensation amount for X and Z axes of the
compensation No.3 (where the cursor is currently posi-
tioned).
<Note>
The values of "Measure posn" and "Prg zero offset
(L)" are cleared, and the highlighted menus ([Mea-
sure X] - [Measure C]) will return to original status.
