2.7.2 Tool calibration without a probe (level 1)
Before measuring the tool, it must be defined in the tool table. See "2.7.1 Define the tool in the tool
table (level 1)" on page 55.
There are 2 ways to calibrate a tool.
When having a tool setting table.
Use the window that shows the tool dimensions to define that data.
When not having any measuring device.
The measurements will be taken with the CNC. Use the window for tool calibration.
Define the tool length or modify the length offsets
This window shows the dimensions assigned to the selected tool.
R Radius.
I Radius wear offset.
L Length.
K Length wear offset.
The R and L data indicate the tool dimensions, radius and length. I and K indicate the offset the CNC
must apply to compensate for tool wear.
The CNC adds the value of the "I" offset to the radius (R) and the value of the "K" offset to the length
(L) to calculate the real dimensions (R+I, L+K) that must be used.
Every time the radius or length value is defined, the CNC sets the "I" and "K" fields to 0
respectively.
The "I" and "K" data are accumulative. In other words, if the "I" has a value of 0.20 and the value
of 0.05 is entered, the CNC assigns the value of 0.25 (0,20+0,05) to the "I" field.
If one sets I=0 or K=0, they are both reset to 0.
To change one of these values, select the corresponding field, key in the desired value and press
[ENTER].
