Tool Setter Position
The Tool Setter Position section sets where your tool setter is, in MACHINE COORDINATES. Tool measurement moves the spindle here before it probes. See Tool Measurement.
Fields
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| X Position | MACHINE COORDINATE X of the center of the tool setter. |
| Y Position | MACHINE COORDINATE Y of the center of the tool setter. |
| Relational Position | Where the tool setter sits relative to the magazine. Shown only on a profile with a Linear magazine. |
Relational Position
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| None | The tool setter is on the table, outside the magazine. This is the default. |
| Internal | The tool setter is mounted on the magazine. |
| For older magazines with the tool setter in the first or last pocket. X Position and Y Position are greyed out and follow that pocket. Not offered on a magazine with a RapidChange chip. |
On a magazine with a dust cover, the placement decides when the cover closes:
- With Internal, the cover stays open while the tool is measured.
- With any other placement, the cover is closed before the tool is measured.
