How To Measure The Length(height) Of Tool In Syntec 6MB Control System

There are two parts. Firstly, measure the length of tool.Secondly, calculate the offset.

The steps are as follows.

• The first part is measuring the length of tool.
• 
  • Press “MDI”,enter MDI mode
  • Select “Monitor”
  • Select “MDI Input”
  • Clear the date and input the tool we need
    for example,we need 3 tools.Then we can input T1,T2,T3
  • Press F5 button in the control panel.The function of this button is to measure the length of tool.
  • Press “AUTO” and “MPG SIM” buttons. The “MPG SIM”button is an optional choice.If you are very familiar with the machine and program,there is no need to open this function.
  • Press “CYCLE START” to measure.
  • Press F5 button in the control panel after measuring was done.
• The second part is calculating the offset.
• 
  • After measuring,press F5 button again to close the function.
  • Back to maintain interface.Select “Offset/setting”
  • Select “Tool set”
  • Calculate and input the offset of 3 tools.
    • 4.1) If we use T1 to set the workpiece zero point,we need take value of T1 as standard reference.
    • The Length(H) of T1 is “T1-T1”,
    • The Length(H) of T2 is “T2-T1”,
    • The Length(H) of T3 is “T3-T1”.
    • (Be careful of the symbol.)
    • 4.2) If we use T2 to set the workpiece zero point,we need take value of T2 as standard reference.
    • The Length(H) of T1 is “T1-T2”,
    • The Length(H) of T2 is “T2-T2”,
    • The Length(H) of T3 is “T3-T2”.
    • (Be careful of the symbol.)
    • 4.3) If we use T3 to set the workpiece zero point,we need take value of T3 as standard reference.
    • The same method as above.
• The video is as follow.
