X and Z coordinates values of the tool offset can be measured
following the procedure described below.
<Measurement of X coordinates value>
(1) Measure the diameter of the workpiece.
(2) Touch with the tool the workpiece side moving along X
axis.
(3) Insert the value of the workpiece diameter in input item X.
(4) Push the SET button.
(5) The value calculated from below expression is updated next
to OFS-X on the bottom left of the screen.
(Actual position of the X axis, read from system variable
#5041) - (diameter of workpiece) + (current offset value as
displayed in OFS-X data) = new X-OFS offset value.
<Measurement of Z coordinates value>
(1) Touch with the tool the workpiece face side moving along Z
axis.
(2) Insert the Z coordinate of workpiece face (usually 0) in input
item Z.
(3) Push the SET button.
(4) The value calculated from below expression is updated next
to Z-OFS on the bottom left of the screen.
(5) Move to the tool selection screen and push the Tool
Selection soft key
(Actual position of the Z axis, read from system variable
#5042) - (Z coordinate of workpiece face) + (current offset
value as displayed in Z-OFS data) = new Z-OFS offset
value.
WARNING
After measuring the tool, it is necessary to execute
again the tool change procedure in order to update
the CNC modal information with the new tool offset
values.
Neglecting to execute the tool change procedure
there is a risk to the user, being injured, and the
machine tool, being damaged.
