Zeroing length
Introduction
Zeroing is the process of setting up and adjusting the gauge and a measuring head to
a master workpiece to assure that post-process inspection of the workpiece yields the
desired final dimensions.
Types of Zeroing:
Mechanical Zeroing physically adjusts the fingers/contacts so that they are within
the foreseen measurement range.
Electrical Zeroing adjustment operation to be performed periodically to obtain the
maximum accuracy and reliability of measurements on the workpiece.
Zero Adjustments Corrections made when after a post-process inspection of the
workpieces small differences in size are found.
Zero Resets removes the offsets generated by the system during the last electrical
zeroing.
Zeroing Conditions
Static The master workpiece is NOT rotating.
Dynamic The master workpiece is rotating and wet by the coolant.

1.5.2.
Mechanical Zeroing of Length

Mechanical zeroing MUST be done to a master workpiece:
At initial set up of the gauge system.
If the allowed zero adjustment range has been exceeded.
After any mechanical or electrical changes to the gauge system (fingers, contacts,
...).
Mechanical zeroing must be performed only in Manual mode and statically.
Note: Each measuring head that has been defined MUST be Mechanically
Zeroed.

This completes the mechanical setup of the measuring head; now perform an Electric
Zeroing (see section 1.5.3 on page 23).

1.5.3.
Electrical Zeroing of Length

Electrical Zeroing MUST be done:
In manual mode on a master workpiece.
Dynamically, i.e. with the master workpiece rotating and wet by coolant.
Regularly, usually at the beginning of each work shift and/or when the grinding
wheel is switched on.
Note: Each measuring head that has been defined MUST be electrically zeroed
for each work cycle in which it is used.
Electrical Zeroing Procedure:

1.
Gauge in manual mode.
2.
Select Part/Cycle.
3.
Press
then
. The Zeroing button is highlighted.
