Abstract
The method involves moving a reference or dummy tool of known size on a toolhead slide from a known position to actuate a limit switch, moving a working tool of unknown size on the same toolhead slide from the same known position to again actuate the limit switch and comparing the toolhead slide position for actuating the limit switch for the working tool with the stored toolhead slide position for the reference tool to determine size of the former.
