9.2 Tool length compensation
Tool length compensation is applied on to the axis indicated by the
instruction "#TOOL AX", or when missing, to the longitudinal axis
designated by selecting the plane.
If G17, tool lengh compensation is aplied to Z axis.
If G18, tool lengh compensation is aplied to Y axis.
If G19, tool lengh compensation is aplied to X axis.
Whenever any of functions G17, G18 or G19 is executed, the CNC
assumes the axis perpendicular to the selected plane as the new
longitudinal axis. If, then, "#TOOL AX" is executed, the new selected
longitudinal axis replaces the previous one.
Programming
Tool length compensation is activated when selecting a tool offset.
• To activate this compensation, program "D<n>", where <n> is the
tool offset number that contains the tool dimensions that will be
used as compensation values.
• To cancel this compensation, program "D0".
Once one of these codes has been executed, tool length
compensation will be activated or cancel during the next movement
of the longitudinal axis.
Positioning of several tools at position "0", with tool length compensation
off.
