- Specification of the tool length offset value
The tool length offset value assigned to the number (offset number)
specified in the H code is selected from offset memory and added to or
subtracted from the moving command in the program.
The tool length offset value may be set in the offset memory through
the MDI panel.
The range of values that can be set as the tool length offset value is as
follows.
- Specifying offset along two or more axes
When LXY (bit 4 of parameter No. 6000) is set to 1, offset can be
performed along any axes specified in the program. When two or more
axes are specified, offset can be performed along all specified axes.
Offset in X and Y axes:
G43 X_ Y_ H_ ;
- Canceling tool length compensation
To cancel the offset, command a G49 or assign offset H0. When G49 is
commanded, the canceling action is taken immediately.
When LXY, bit 4 of parameter No.6000, is set to 0 (tool length
compensation is applied along the Z-axis), the offset can be canceled
simply by specifying H00.
When LXY, bit 4 of parameter No.6000, is set to 1, tool length
compensation is applied along the axis specified in the program.
