003 100.0 0.1 For H code
Memory for geometry compensation as well as tool wear compensation
is prepared separately in tool compensation memory C. Geometry
compensation and tool wear compensation can thus be set separately.
Separate memories are prepared for cutter radius compensation (for D
code) and for tool length compensation (for H code).

There are two types of tool offset amount memory, which can be selected
according to offset amount.
Tool offset amount range which can be set is as follows:
Increment
Tool compensation value
system
Metric input (mm) Inch input (inch)
IS-B –999.999 to +999.999 –99.9999 to +99.9999
IS-C –999.9999 to +999.9999 –99.99999 to +99.99999
The maximum wear compensation value can, however, be modified using
a parameter.
The number of digits used to specify a tool geometry/wear compensation
value can be expanded by selecting the option which enables seven–digit
tool offset specification. When this option is used, tool compensation
values can be specified using up to seven digits for IS–B and eight digits
for IS–C. The valid data range for tool compensation values will thus be
as listed in the following table.
Increment
Tool compensation value
system
Metric input (mm) Inch input (inch)
IS-B 0 to ±9999.999 0 to ±999.9999
IS-C
0 to ±9999.9999
