This invention relates to the field of five-axis
machining technology and discloses a method for measuring the Z-axis value of the workpiece coordinate
system origin and the tool length. The method involves placing the Z-axis
setter on the upper surface of the workpiece; with the spindle stopped, lifting the handwheel
pulse generator and gently pressing the spindle end face against the elastic upper plane of the Z-axis
setter; adjusting the movement ratio of the handwheel
pulse generator to "X1"; moving the spindle away from the Z-axis
setter; mounting the tool on the spindle; adjusting the movement ratio of the handwheel
pulse generator to "X1" again, and the pointer of the Z-axis setter pointing to the "0" mark; due to the addition of the Z-axis setter, the Z-axis value h0 of point B in the workpiece coordinate
system in the
machine tool coordinate
system A is -h - h1 - 50, where 50 is the fixed height of the Z-axis setter. This method ultimately yields the Z-axis value of the workpiece coordinate system origin. This method reduces the cost for companies to purchase on-
machine measuring instruments and tool pre-setting devices, achieving high operation speed, high efficiency, high precision, and excellent cost-effectiveness.
