Fig. 9.10 (c) Tool Length Offset Measurement Screen (Offset Memory C)
NOTE
The values of addresses T and M can be reset to 0.
In the MEM or MDI mode, the values of the modal T
and M codes are displayed.
4 Enter the distance between the reference measurement surface
and the actual reference surface by using the numeric keys, then
press the [HM_INP] soft key. The reference measurement surface
and actual reference surface are described below.
5 Select the desired tool.
While status indication OFST is blinking on the tool length offset
measurement screen, a T code and M code can be programmed in
manual handle feed or jog feed mode (manual numeric command).
Key in Ttttt, and then press the cycle start button on the machine
operator’s panel or MDI panel. Then, select the tool to be
measured by Ttttt. Next, M06 is generally entered and executed
to position the tool to the spindle. Now, the target tool is set at the
spindle position. Position the cursor to the tool offset number
corresponding to the tool length offset to be set. Generally, the
operator positions the cursor on the offset number. Some
machines can automatically position the cursor to the
corresponding tool offset number upon the completion of tool
selection if the QNI bit (bit 6 of parameter 6002) is set to 1.
6 Bring the tool into contact with the measurement surface of the
workpiece or reference block by means of manual handle feed or
jog feed.
7 Press the [MEASURE] soft key. The tool length offset is set in the
tool offset memory. In tool offset memory B or C, the tool length
offset is set as a tool geometry offset, and the tool wear offset is
set to 0. The cursor does not move from the tool offset number. To
