• Z OFFSET—indicates the Z location in machine coordinates for part zero.
• W Offset (Tailstock or Sub-spindle) checkbox—select this checkbox to
enable the W Offset fields. When the checkbox is cleared, the W Offsets
cannot be edited. The status of this checkbox is modal. It stays in effect until
you change it, even upon a control reboot. This field is available for Two-Axis
Programmable Tailstock (TMX series) turning centers only.
• Y Offset checkbox—select this checkbox to enable the Y Offset fields. When
the checkbox is cleared, the Y Offsets cannot be edited. The status of this
checkbox is modal. It stays in effect until you change it, even upon a control
reboot. This field is available for Two-Axis Programmable Tailstock (TMX
series) and Live-Tooling, Y-Axis Motion, and Sub-spindle (TMX MYS series)
turning centers only.
• W OFFSET (Tailstock or Sub-spindle)—contains the W location in
machine coordinates for part zero. This location is referenced from Machine
Zero as shown in Figure 4–7. Part Offset Relative to Machine Zero, on page 4
- 11. This field is available for Two-Axis Programmable Tailstock (TMX series)
turning centers only.
• Y OFFSET—contains the Y location in machine coordinates for part zero. Y-
Axis motion allows the turret to move up or down and maintain the X-Axis
position. This field is available for Live-Tooling and Y-Axis Motion (TMX MY
series) and Live-Tooling, Y-Axis Motion, and Sub-spindle (TMX MYS series)
turning centers.
• On Sub-spindle check box—indicates the offsets are applied to the sub-
spindle when selected. This field is available for Live-Tooling, Y-Axis Motion,
and Sub-spindle (TMX MYS series) turning centers only.
• ACTIVE OFFSET—contains the index value (1 – 99) specifying which offset is
active.
When the cursor is in a Z Offset field and Store Machine Position is
pressed, a pop-up window appears requesting a tool offset (0-99).
The control will adjust for the tool offset before entering the position
in the selected field.
The pop-up contains the active tool’s programmed geometry offset.
If the active tool is not programmed in Tool Setup, then the active
tool number is used as the default offset.
Entering a zero (0) does not apply an adjustment.
After entering or accepting the tool offset, select OK to continue or
Cancel to stop the operation.
All conversational part program data blocks following the offset are
applied to the sub-spindle when an On Sub-spindle check box is
selected.
The Active Offset for a Change Part Setup block appears in the
Program Review screen, listed next to the block as E:# where E is an
NC command and # is the Active Offset. Refer to Program Review,
on page 1 - 8 for information about the Program Review screen.
