A method to derive and apply computer numerical control global offsets includes: measuring features of a machined part using a coordinate measuring machine (CMM); programming a first processor within the CMM to receive the dimensions of the features and to output computer numerical control (CNC) offsets; and forwarding the CNC offsets from the CMM to a CNC machining system to correct operation of the CNC machining system.

A user manually operates the probe of a machine tool to move toward a workpiece. A movement history of the user's manual operation is recorded. The positional relationship between a workpiece and the probe is estimated based on the history of movement of the probe by the manual operation. The controller presents a candidate for the direction of the probe to be moved in the automatic measurement of the workpiece. The user inputs the movement direction of the probe with reference to content of the presentation.

A position measurement method includes, acquiring a sensing position of a distal end of a reference tool, measuring and acquiring a position of a machined surface, The method further includes measuring a position of a reference block disposed on a side of the tool sensor and calculating a relative position of the reference block to the sensing position from the sensing position and the position of the reference block, mounting the position measurement sensor to the main spindle and measuring a position of the reference block, calculating a length direction correction value of the position measurement sensor from the position of the reference block measured in the mounting of the position measurement sensor and the relative position, and measuring the object by the position measurement sensor and correcting a measurement position of the object.

A correction value measurement method includes, measuring a position of a reference sphere, calculating a relative position of the reference sphere with respect to a sensing position from the position of the reference sphere, a length of the position measurement sensor, and a length of the reference tool. The method further includes acquiring a reference tool position as a distal end position of the reference tool using, calculating a length direction correction value of the position measurement sensor from the reference tool position, the position of the reference sphere, the relative position, and a length of the reference tool, and measuring the position of the reference sphere to calculate a radial direction correction value of the position measurement sensor.

A method for correcting tool parameters of a machine tool for machining workpieces includes recording measurement values of measured characteristics as actual values of at least one workpiece machined with the machine tool. The measurement values are compared with the default set values of the workpiece. The measurement values of at least two measured characteristics are recorded from at least two parameters of at least one measured characteristic and/or from at least one measured characteristic and from at least one parameter. An average for a tool correction value is calculated from the measurement values and the corresponding set values, with which a correction of the machine tool is performed.
