1DESCRIPTION
1.1 General
1.1.1 Preface
The safety instructions in this manual have to be strictly observed to guarantee a safe and reli-
able function of the tool setter and to avoid personal and material damage. The meaning of
the symbols related to the safety instructions is described in the table below.
CAUTION
CAUTION indicates a hazard which can lead to injuries if not
avoided.
NOTICE
NOTICE indicates information considered important, but not
hazard-related (e.g. messages relating to property damage).
INFORMATION
INFORMATION indicates important information or helpful
advice for working with the described device.
1.1.2 Safety Instructions
CAUTION
Risk of injuries due to moving machine parts or defect compressed air lines!
Installation must only be carried out if the machine is switched to a completely de-
energized and de-pressurized state to avoid the risk of injuries due to moving machine
parts or defect compressed air lines.
Operation of the tool setter is only allowed with closed guards (safety doors).
NOTICE
Risk of material damage caused by third-party parts!
Only the original spare parts listed in this manual are permitted for preventive and correc-
tional maintenance.
INFORMATION
The information given in this manual can be changed by the manufacturer at any time.
Thus the user is responsible to regularly inquire about updated information.
1.1.3 Declaration of Conformity
The EC Declaration of Conformity can be found at the end of these operating instructions.
If required, a copy of the signed original declaration of conformity may be requested from
the address given on the back cover.

1.1.4 Validity
This document is valid for the hardware available at the creation date of the manual itself.
Technical changes by the manufacturer are reserved.
The latest version of this manual can be downloaded under www.mh-inprocess.com
in the Downloads section.
1.2 Purpose
The Tool Setter IRT37.50 is used for determination of tool geometries like tool length and
tool radius inside the machine. Moreover it measures single cutters and detects tool breakage.
Therefore the measurements can be performed statically or dynamically as well.

1.6 Transmission-/Reception Area
1.6.1 Reception Area for Tool Setter Activation/ Deactivation
INFORMATION
Fig. 3 shows the reception angles of the tool setter during the ON/OFF procedure. The mount-
ing position of the receiver must be chosen so that the tool setter is in the receivers transmis-
sion range for switching ON/OFF.

2.3 Setting Infrared Transmission Range and Switch Off Time
Infrared transmission range
The infrared transmission range can be set to 1.6m –3.3m –4.0 m. Reducing the transmission
range can help to prevent interferences with other infrared transmission systems in the close
environment. Setting a high transmission range reduces the lifetime of the battery.
Switch off time
HIf the stylus of the tool setter is not deflected for a specified time the tool setter switches off
automatically. This time can be set to 120 ~ 180 s.
1. Remove the tool setter as shown below.

INFORMATION
To activate/deactivate multiple infrared systems independent from each other with only one
receiver, the systems must have different switch ON codes (A, B).For communication with
the control the receiver provides an own connecting pin for each of the switch ON codes A
and B.
For measurement only one system can be used at one point in time.

1. Loosen the clamping screws and turn the adjustment bolts until they reach their limit
in the upper position.
2. Tighten the clamping screws until the adjustment bolts can just be turned with moderate
force.
3. Blow the adjustment bolts and the V-Slots clean.
4. Place the Tool Setter into the V-Slots.
5. Check the parallelism of the stylus in the X Axis using a dial gauge.
6. Adjust the tool setter in the Y axis to < 5 μm by turning the adjustment bolts.
7. Tighten the clamping screws (2x) of the the adjustment bolts.
8. Using the third adjustment bolt, adjust the tool setter around the X-axis to < 5 μm.
9. Tighten theclamping screw of the third adjustment bolt.
10. Take the Tool Setter out of the machine and securely tighten all 3 clamping screws
by hand using high hand force (approx.10 Nm).
11. Blow off the adjustment bolts and the V-Slots.
12. Put the tool setter back in the V-Slots and verify the alignment.
13. Calibrate the tool setter.
2.5 Tool Setter Calibration
Figure 11 Tool Setter Calibration
INFORMATION
Due to the short delay between triggering and reading the axis position, calibration of the tool
setter is required. During calibration the following is determined:
Switching characteristic of the tool setter in different machine axes
Effective length of the tool setter
Response time of the tool setter in relation to the NC
Calibration of the tool setter is performed using control specific calibration cycles.
