Section 5 Measure workpiece
Notes 5.1 Selecting the function “Measure workpiece“
In the operating area “Machine“ under the operating

mode “JOG“ press the HSK 3 "Meas. workp." to
open the “Measure workpiece“ window shown be-
low.
The reference point for programming a workpiece is always the workpiece

zero. You can determine the workpiece zero on the following workpiece
elements:
 Edges (Set edge, Align edge)
 Corner (Rectangular corner)
 Hole (1 Hole, 2 Holes, 3 Holes, 4 Holes))
 Spigot (Circular spigot, rectangular spigot)
The workpiece zero can be measured either manually or automatically.
Measuring manually:
For manual measuring their are parameters that depend upon tool type,
and therefore are only available for the particular case. The tool must be
manually approached to the workpiece. You can use edge probes, sensing
probes, or dial gauges with known radii and lengths. You can also use any
other tool of which you know the radius and length. The tools used for
measuring must not be electronic probes.
Measuring automatically:
For automatic measurements always use electronic 3-D or mono work-
piece probes. You must calibrate the electronic workpiece probes before-
hand. First position the workpiece probe manually. As soon as you start
the process with the "CYCLE START" key, the workpiece probe automati-
cally approaches the workpiece at measuring feedrate and then returns to
the starting position at rapid traverse.
The machine manufacturer must first set the appropriate machine parame-
ters (e.g. the measuring feedrate).
Note: During all measurements the override of the feedrate should be
set to 100%.

Section 6 Measure tool
Notes 6.1 Selecting the function “Measure tool“
The geometries of the machining tool must be taken into consideration

when executing a part program. These are stored as tool offset data in
the tool list. Each time the tool is called, the control considers the tool off-
set data. When programming the part program, you only need to enter the
workpiece dimensions from the production drawing. After this, the control-
ler independently calculates the individual tool path.
You can determine the tool offset data, i.e. the length and radius or di-
ameter, either manually or automatically with tool probes.
By pressing the HSK 4 “Meas. tool“ in the operating

mode “JOG” under the operating area “Machine”
the following window opens:
Measuring a tool manually
For manual measurement, move the tool manually to a known reference

point to determine the tool length and the radius or diameter. The control
then calculates the tool offset data from the position of the tool carrier ref-
erence point and the reference point.
With the measuring of the tool length either the workpiece or a fixed point
in the machines coordinate system, e.g. a load cell or a fixed point in con-
junction with a distance meter, can be used as a reference point. The posi-
tion of the workpiece is specified during the measurement. The position of
the fixed point however must be announced before the measurement.
With the determination of the radius or diameter the workpiece always
serves as the reference point.
Hint:
Depending on the setting in a machine data either the radius or the
diameter of the tool can be measured.
Note:
Refer to the machine manufacturer's specifications.
