• The tool and the tool adapter are measured separately but are installed on the machine in one unit (the tool
size and adapter size are entered separately in a cutting edge).
• The tool is used in a second tool fixture located in another position (e.g. vertical and horizontal spindle).
• The tool fixtures of a tool turret are located at different positions.
Figure 18-8 Application examples for base-dimension/adapter-dimension TLC
Tool basic length 1 to 3 (tool parameters 21 to 23)
In order that the discrepancy between the toolholder reference point F and the toolholder reference point F' can
be corrected on the three geometry axes (three dimensional), all 3 basic lengths are active irrespective of the tool
type. In other words, a twist drill (tool type 200) with a tool length compensation (length 1) can also have a tool
base dimension/adapter dimension in 3 axes.
