3.6 Measure tool (milling)
Figure 3-38
Radius measurement
The tool radius is measured using lateral probing at the probe in the parameterized measuring
axis and measuring direction (see the following diagram).
Figure 3-39
Requirements
Note
The tool probe must be calibrated before the tool measurement (see Calibrate probe
(CYCLE971) (Page 281)).
● The tool geometry data (approximate values) must be entered in a tool offset data record.
● The tool must be active.
● The machining plane must be programmed in which the probe was calibrated.
● The tool must be prepositioned in such a way that collision-free approach with the probe
is possible in the measuring cycle.
