When the touch sensor is provided, the tool offset value can be
automatically settable in the tool offset memory, by moving the tool to
make contact with the touch sensor during manual operation. The
workpiece coordinate system shift amount can also be automatically set.
In addition, using a tool setter function for a one–turret/two–spindle lathe
enables the tool compensation amount measured value direct input B
function to be used for two spindles also on the one–turret/two–spindle
lathe.
Either of the following two cases may be selected depending on parameter
setting.
1) If TS1 (bit 3 of parameter No. 5004) is 0
The touch sensor has two direction–specific contact faces for each
axis, thus outputting four signals (+MIT1, +MIT2, –MIT1, and
–MIT2) when contact is detected.
2) If TS1 (bit 3 of parameter No. 5004) is 1
A touch sensor based on one contact input outputs one signal (+MIT1)
when the one–contact input detects contact. So, which of the two
directions of each axis is involved is automatically determined, and
feeding in the corresponding axis direction is disabled.
