Tool radius R
You can enter the tool radius R directly.
Delta values for lengths and radii
Delta values are offsets in the length and radius of a tool.
A positive delta value describes a tool oversize (DL, DR, DR2>0). If
you are programming the machining data with an allowance, enter
the oversize value in the TOOL CALL block of the part program.
A negative delta value describes a tool undersize (DL, DR, DR2<0).
An undersize is entered in the tool table for wear.
Delta values are usually entered as numerical values. In a TOOL
CALL block, you can also assign the values to Q parameters.
Input range: You can enter a delta value with up to ± 99.999 mm.
Entering tool data into the program
The number, length and radius of a specific tool is defined in the
TOOL DEF block of the part program.
ú
To select tool definition, press the TOOL DEF key.
ú
Enter the Tool number: Each tool is uniquely identified
by its number.
ú
Enter the tool length: Enter the compensation value
for the tool length.
ú
Enter the Tool radius.
In the programming dialog, you can transfer the value for
tool length directly into the input line with the actual-
position-capture key. You only need to make sure that the
highlight in the status display is placed on the tool axis.
Resulting NC block:
