本文提出设计一种新的系统，专门用于手动操作的数控车床上自动测量和调整刀具偏移。它将伸缩臂与计算机视觉和处理器技术相结合。它消除了80%的当前刀具偏移调整时间。摄像机安装在可伸缩臂上，获取每个刀具的一个图像，被测刀具保持在典型的索引位置，并且在获取图像时处于静止状态。这一过程的成功取决于关键的机械公差和特定的计算机接口的建立。

THIS PAPER PROPOSES THAT A NEW SYSTEM BE DESIGNED THAT AUTOMATICALLY MEASURES AND ADJUSTS TOOL OFFSETS SPECIFICALLY ON MANUALLY OPERATED CNC TURNING MACHINES. IT COMBINES A RETRACTABLE ARM WITH COMPUTER VISION AND PROCESSOR TECHNOLOGY. IT ELIMINATES 80% OF THE CURRENT TOOL OFFSET ADJUSTMENT TIME. A CAMERA IS MOUNTED ON A RETRACTABLE ARM, ONE IMAGE OF EACH TOOL IS ACQUIRED, AND THE TOOL BEING MEASURED IS HELD IN A TYPICAL INDEXED POSITION AND IS STATIONARY WHEN THE IMAGE IS ACQUIRED. THE SUCCESS OF THIS PROCESS IS BASED ON KEY MECHANICAL TOLERANCES BEING HELD AND SPECIFIC COMPUTER INTERFACES BEING ESTABLISHED.
