5.1.7 Second Geometry Tool Offset
Overview
To compensate for a difference in tool attachment position or selection
position, this function adds second geometry tool offset to the X axis,
Y axis, and Z axis with all paths.
In contrast to this offset, the ordinary tool geometry offset is called the
first geometry tool offset.
It is possible to apply a tool offset value (tool wear offset + tool
geometry offset) in the reverse direction, using an appropriate signal.
This function may be used if the offset value differs even with a single
tool for a mechanical reason depending on the mounting position
(inside/outside) or the selected position (right/left).
NOTE
1. To use the second geometry tool offset, the
geometry and wear offset options are required.
2. To use the second geometry tool offset for the Y
axis, the Y axis offset option is required.

Explanation
- Specification method
Offset using the second geometry tool offset is performed with a
program command.
Specify the second geometry tool offset with a T code command, and
using the second geometry tool offset signal G2SLC, specify whether
to set the offset value of the specified tool geometry offset number to
the first geometry tool offset only or to the first geometry tool offset
plus the second geometry tool offset. If using the first geometry tool
offset plus the second geometry tool offset, specify the axis to which
the second geometry tool offset is to be applied, using the appropriate
one of the second geometry tool offset axis select signal G2X, G2Z,
and G2Y.
