Measuring workpieces at the turning machines

Workpiece probe
On turning machines, the workpiece probes are treated as tool type 5xy with permissible
cutting edge positions (SL) 5 to 8 and must be entered in the tool memory accordingly.
Lengths specified for turning tools always refer to the tool tip, except in the case of
workpiece probes on turning machines where they refer to the probe center.
Probes are classified according to their position:
Workpiece probe SL 7
Entry in tool memory
Tool type ($TC_DP1[ ]):
Cutting edge ($TC_DP2[ ]):
Length 1 - geometry:
Length 2 - geometry:
Radius ($TC_DP6[ ]):
Length 1 - basic dimension
($TC_DP21[ ]):
Length 2 - basic dimension
