The length of the tool can be measured and registered as the tool length
offset value by moving the reference tool and the tool to be measured until
they touch the specified position on the machine.
The tool length can be measured along the X–, Y–, or Z–axis.
Procedure for tool length measurement
1 Use manual operation to move the reference tool until it touches the
specified position on the machine (or workpiece.)
2 Press function key

until the tool compensation screen is
displayed.
5 Use manual operation to move the tool to be measured until it touches
the same specified position. The difference between the length of the
reference tool and the tool to be measured is displayed in the relative
coordinates on the screen.
6 Move the cursor to the compensation number for the target tool (the
cursor can be moved in the same way as for setting tool compensation
values).
