Tool data Tool parameters X = is not evaluated
Tool dimensions Geometry Wear
R $TC_DP6 $TC_DP15 R = shank radius (tool radius)
r $TC_DP7 $TC_DP16 r = corner radius
a $TC_DP11 $TC_DP20 a = angle between tool longitudinal axes
and upper end of torus surface
Tool length offset
The tool tip is the reference point for length offset
(intersection longitudinal axis/surface).
3D tool offset, tool change
A new tool with changed dimensions (R, r, a) or a different form may only be specified with
the programming of G41 or G42 (transition G40 to G41 or G42, reprogramming of G41
G42). This rule does not apply to any other tool data, e.g., tool lengths, so that tools to which
such data apply can be fitted without reprogramming G41 or G42 .
