In machining programs, T codes are used to specify tool groups as
follows:
Tape format Meaning
Tnn99; Ends the tool used by now, and starts to use the tool of
the ∆∆group. ”99” distinguishes this specification
from ordinary specification.
Tnn88; Cancels the offset of the tool of the group. ”88” distin–
guishes this specification from ordinary specification.
M02(M300); Ends the machining program.
Tape format Meaning
T0199; Ends the previous tool, and starts to use the tool of
the 01 group.
T0188; Cancels the offset of the tool of the 01 group.
T0508; Ends the tool of the 01 group. Selects tool number
05 and offset number 08.
T0500; Cancels the offset of tool number 05.
T0299; Ends tool number 05, and starts to use the tool of
the 02 group.
T0199; Ends the tool of the 02 group, and starts to use the
tool of the 01 group. If more than one offset number
is specified for the tool, the second offset number is
selected. Otherwise, the previous offset number is
used.
