An improved method for measuring the size (e.g., diameter) of a toothless tool (e.g., a grinding tool such as a diamond-coated burr) is described. The method can be implemented on a machine tool (e.g., a lathe, a machining center, etc.). The method includes passing a light beam from a transmitter (10) to a receiver (14). The receiver (14) produces a received intensity signal related to the intensity of the received light. Changes in the received intensity signal are analyzed as the rotating tool (40; 88) moves relative to the light beam (12) to enable the size of the tool (40; 88) to be measured. In particular, it can be determined when the received intensity signal has crossed a threshold for at least a defined duration (Tq) that is less than the time (Tr) it takes for the tool to rotate a full revolution.

The workpiece and a diamond turning tool are fixed on the C-axis and B-axis of the ultra-precision machine tool, respectively. The workpiece is turned to eliminate Z-axis tool setting errors. After tool setting is completed using a tool setter, the initial virtual center position is recorded, and the diamond turning tool is controlled to plan the first straight groove. The virtual center function is activated, and the B-axis is rotated by an angle α, controlling the diamond turning tool to plan the second straight groove. Then, the B-axis rotation angle is adjusted to -2α, controlling the diamond turning tool to plan the third straight groove. The depth of the three straight grooves is measured along the Z-axis and recorded. The angle θ between the initial virtual center, the actual virtual center, and the B-axis rotation center, as well as the distance L' from the actual virtual center to the B-axis rotation center, are calculated to confirm the position of the actual virtual center. When machining complex feature structures, this invention can greatly improve the efficiency of toolpath programming, effectively reduce machining path deviations, and improve the surface quality of ultra-precision machining.
