1.2 General prerequisites

Tool measurements

In tool measurement, the selected tool is moved up to the probe and the measured values

are acquired. The probe is either in a fixed in position or is swung into the working area with

a mechanism. The tool geometry measured is entered in the appropriate tool offset data set.

General prerequisites

Certain preconditions must be met before measuring cycles can be used.

These are detailed in Part 2 Description of Functions (Chapter 8 ff.).

The following checklist is useful for checking which preconditions have been met:

• All machine axes are designed in accordance with DIN 66217.

• Machine data have been adapted.

Existence of cycles, data blocks

The following have been loaded into the control and activated:

• The data blocks into the "Definitions" directory:

• The measuring cycles into the standard cycle directory.

Starting position

• The reference points have been approached.

• The starting position can be reached by linear interpolation without collision.

– GUD6.DEF and

– GUD7.DEF (for measuring in JOG)
