2.3.2 Turning Tool Measurement
When the turning tool is oriented in the Z-axis direction, its figures in
the Z-axis and X-axis directions are measured.
Measurement motion screen
When you select "TURNING TOOL MEASUREMENT (TOOL Z-
AXIS)" on the tool measurement menu selection screen of the
measurement cycle, the following screen appears:
- MEASUREMENT METH.
Specify an axis direction for measurement.
Select a desired axis direction from the following soft keys:
- SPECIFY OF X SHIFT
Select a method of specifying the shift amount from the X coordinate
of the touch sensor position for tool measurement to the X coordinate
of the tool measurement position.
By default, [AUTO] is selected.
Choose from the soft keys.
When [AUTO] is selected, the approach position in the X-axis
direction at the time of tool measurement is automatically determined
by referencing the tool offset value. (For details, see "Measurement
motion" described later.)
When [OFSET] is selected, the tool to be measured is approached at
the position shifted by the specified tool offset value from the X
coordinate of the touch sensor position.
When [INPUT] is selected, the tool is approached at the position
shifted by the value input in the next item "OFFSET/DIFFERENCE
X" from the X coordinate of the touch sensor position.
When [DIFFER] is selected, the tool is approached at the position
shifted by the specified tool offset value added to the value specified
