Determined by the system this
can taking a little time.

The tool measurement focuses mainly upon the compensation of the tool's length.
As an optimum the radius of the milling cutter can be taken into account.
According to the control at use it is also possible to calculate and to compensate
the wear of the tool and to survey a possible point of break of the tool.

A variant might be to measure with a fine micro-tracer. Also most fine and little
milling cutters will not be destroyed since the system reacts very sensitively and
the surface of the measurement tool possesses gentle lips. This system allows to
measure the length of the tools with a variance of only a few µ.

An alternative to mechanical systems is the measurement by laser. In this case
the measurement is without contact. The rotating milling cutter within the
measurement system interrupts the stream of the laser. Hence, its length and the
diameter can be measured with almost µ-exactness.

To secure the measurement system also when working with dusty material it is
placed safely within the shaft of the tool changer.
