Setting Mazak Measuring Unit.

Machine : Mazak VQC 15/40
Control : M 32
YOM :1990

I was overhauling the measuring unit (change taper bearings,coil, and magnetic sensor), and doing some conection, because the previos owner has disabled it.
After some tests, I noticed that a tool of 72.00 mm (2.830") long, the machine takes 720.00 mm (28.30") long on the tool data page.
I don't know why the real length of the tool value is multiplied by 10. Is a parameter wrong?

Thanks in advance.

have you try to contact Mazak? I have tooleye calibration for lathe only sorry.

I don't think the Tool Eye is multiplying by 10 ..... I think you just need to adjust your R parameter for the Z axis to adjust the Tool Eye...

Not sure of the parameter.

Tool length data is stored in #vars #60001 and up (ie tool 1) on our machine.

If its always a factor of ten add the following line to your programs, after the tool measure.

#6000n=#6000n/10

Where n is tool no
