Hi i have reciently started a new job operating a okuma MA-40H OSP U100 vertical mill. Before i have been using Heidenhain control machines and setting tools using a touch tool setter. This new machine has a non touch renishaw laser for setting tools, but is only used for setting the tool length, using the m201 command. Is there anyway of setting the tool radius using this tool setter? If so your advice would be greatly appreciated. No one in my new place of employment knows how if there is a way.
What about macro programs is there any books out there that would be of an advantage if i wanted to learn how to do this type of programming?
Lastly we use a renishaw mp10 probe for setting x,y,z datums where would one go to to learn how to use this probe to its full capacity, again is there any books?
Thanks for taking the time to read this thread.
