3.7.3 Carrying Out Width Measurement

Outline
When carrying out width measurement, two positions (A, and B) are measured, and the width center position
calculated from the two measured positions is set in the workpiece coordinate system offset.
measurement position displays at the measurement counter.
<Measurement using the touch sensor>
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 sensor)>
Measurement counter X = X axis machine position + center compensation (H) + skip past amount
Measurement counter Y = Y axis machine position + center compensation (V) + skip past amount
Measurement counter Z = Z axis machine position - sensor length
(Note) 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.

Operation method
(1) Press the
Width meas
(2) Perform the reference position return
command, etc. to position the tool at the
basic point.
(3) Turn ON the measurement switch on the
machine operation board.
(4) Move the tool to the center of the groove
using manual feed or manual handle feed.
