5 Setting a Tool and a Workpiece
5.7.1.3 Carrying Out Width Measurement
With width measurement, two points of the measurement position coordinate for each axis are measured, and then calcu-
lates the center between the points to set it as the workpiece coordinate offset. The measurement position displays at the
measurement counter.
<Measurement using touch probe>
Measurement counter X = X axis skip position
Measurement counter Y = Y axis skip position
Measurement counter Z = Z axis skip position - sensor length
<Simple measurement (measurement without using touch probe)>
Measurement counter X = X axis machine position + center compensation (H) + skip past amount (Horizontal axis) (*1)
Measurement counter Y = Y axis machine position + center compensation (V) + skip past amount (Vertical axis) (*1)
Measurement counter Z = Z axis machine position - sensor length
(*1) The skip past amount is added for only the axis that moved last.
The sign ( + or - ) of the past amount depends on the movement direction of the axis.

Reference
The menu is highlighted and the cursor displays at point
A.
Use the [↑] or [↓] key to move to points A and B.
Upon contact, the axis automatically contacts the work-
