12.2.1 Tool Compensation Memory
M
Overview
Tool compensation values include geometry compensation values and
wear compensation values. (Fig. 12.2.1(a) Geometric compensation
and wear compensation)
Tool compensation values can also be used without discriminating
between geometry and wear compensation values.

Tool compensation values can be entered into CNC memory from the
MDI or from a program.
A tool compensation value is selected from the CNC memory when
the corresponding code is specified after address H or D in a program.
The value is used for tool length compensation, cutter compensation,
or the tool offset.
- Unit of range of tool compensation value
A tool offset unit and valid data range can be chosen from the
following by setting the parameters:
