Tool edge

code
Principle of correct tool edge position
code selection: Select the correspond-
ing tool edge position code according to
actual tool point direction!
Observe the relationship between the tool point direction and the positive
direction of the X axis and the Z axis.
Find the corresponding position relationship in the figure below and enter
the number in “Edge position”; the red coordinate in the purple circle is the
selected position code.
Note that the tool tip direction here is the direction after
the correct tool offset, not only the direction in tool load-
ing. And the correct of tool edge position code directly
affects the tool tip radius compensation!
The tool edge position code can also be changed in the
position showed in the figure.
Step 2
The range of tool numbers which can be created by
