Measuring tools at lathes

Tool probe
The tool probes have dedicated data fields _TP[ ] and _TPW[ ] in data block GUD6.DEF.
The triggering points (switching points) are entered here. Approximate values must be
entered here before calibration – if cycles are used in automatic mode. The cycle will then
recognize the position of the probe.
The default setting has data fields for 3 probes. Up to 99 are possible.
In addition to turning tools, drills and mills can also be measured.
