Use the Long tool / Short tool search option ?
Select 'No' to use the 'Known tool length approach'. The approximate tool length MUST be stored in the offset register prior to measurement if the known tool length input is not used.
Select 'Yes' to automatically search for and measure the length of a tool within the minimum and maximum lengths set. No tool length offset is required in the Tool Data / Tool Offset page. The cycle will position the spindle to the retract position in the tool axis. It will position centrally over the stylus and feed at the fast positioning feedrate to the long tool position above the stylus. The tool will then move towards the stylus at the 'Long tool / Short tool' search feedrate untill a trigger is detected.
If the tool is not detected within the set range, a 'PROBE DID NOT TRIGGER' alarm will be displayed.
The default selection is 'No'
