14. TOOL COMPENSATION FUNCTION
NC FUNCTION
101
Tool position compensation along the X– and Y–axes can be effected for
tools specified by a code consisting of character T and one to four digits
that follow it. The amount of compensation is specified in the least
command increment defined on the tool registration menu during
installation. (Up to 136 tools, values: Positive number consisting of eight
digits)
CAUTION
If an inch/metric switch–over option is specified, and the
measurement unit used in the machine is different from that
used in the input system, a maximum possible error is the
sum of half the least input increment and half the least
command increment. This error will not be accumulated.
This function can be used for die–indexable tools. It simplifies
mechanical adjustment like reference position adjustment performed
during tool mounting by effecting automatic C–axis compensation for
tool indexing. The amount of compensation and the tool number for the
die–indexable tool are specified by parameters. (Up to 20 tools with tool
numbers of 1 to 9999)
