17.7 WORKPIECE ORIGIN MANUAL SETTING
By directly entering the value of the deviation measured between the
workpiece coordinate system assumed during programming and the
actual coordinate system, the offset required to change the actually
measured value into a specified value is entered as the workpiece origin
offset at the cursor position.
17.8 TOOL LENGTH/WORKPIECE ORIGIN MEASUREMENT
As the functions for measuring the tool length, the following methods
are provided: method by which the tool length is automatically
measured with the program command (G37) (automatic tool length
measurement ) and the method by which the tool length is measured by
moving the tool by manual feed and bringing it into contact with, for
example, the top face of the workpiece (manual tool length
measurement ). With tool length/workpiece origin measurement, the
operation required for manual tool length measurement has been
simplified, so that machining setup can be performed easily and in a
short time. In addition, the workpiece origin offset can be measured
easily.
