Im the only guy who sets up our 5 axis mills, I've got one guy on my night crew who might need to change a tool from time to time.... I worry.
It's occurred to me rather then have him touch off tools using Blum cycle 584, I can switch him to 583 with the check function enabled. This would only update the DL wear column for the new tool, the tool length would not change from what I had previously. If I set the wear tolerance to +/- .030 that would give him enough margin of error for his new tool, while still preserving the collision checked master have length I've established. If he stick out more of less then .030 the tool will automatically lock, and he would have to try again. Anyone see any reason why this wouldn't work?
