Tool Setters - 2000 Series

Creating a Tool Setter

Open the Calibrate Tool Setters window. Found on the 'Tools' page of the 2000 series screens.

To create a new tool setter, press 'Add New'. All tool setters must have a unique name. After naming the tool setter, select it from the list. Settings for that tool setter will be shown on the right-hand side.

Creating a Manual Tool Setter

Select the setter type to be manual.

Optionally, select a go-to position to be associated with this tool setter. Selecting a position will cause the machine to go to that position before touching off on this setter. Otherwise, the control will not move before interacting with the tool setter.

The tool setter height should be entered in the next field.

The Z position for the tool setter should be the machine coordinate for the surface the tool setter is sitting on. The Z position wizard can be used to determine this number if it is not known. If the tool setter is random position, not fixed, then this value will be managed later.

Creating an Auto Tool Setter

Select the setter type to be auto and select which probe input the setter is wired to.

If the tool setter height is known, its height should be entered. If the tool setter height is not known, launch the height wizard and follow the instructions for measuring. This will require the tool setter to be wired to the control.

Creating a Tool Setter Go-To Position

Potential tool setter go-to positions are created in the go-to positions configuration. Any position can be used as a tool setter position.
