18.11.5 Upgrades for Tool Length Determination
18.11.5.1 Taking the compensation values into account location-specifically and
workpiecespecifically
Composition of the effective tool length
For a tool compensation without active kinematic transformation, the effective tool length consists of up to 8
vectors:
Type of action of the individual vectors
The type of action of the individual vectors or groups of vectors depends on the following further quantities:
• Tool length (geometry) ($TC_DP3 - $TC_DP5)
• Wear ($TC_DP12 - $TC_DP14)
• Tool base dimension (see note) ($TC_DP21 - $TC_DP23)
• Adapter dimension (see note) ($TC_ADPT1 - $TC_ADPT3)
• Total offsets fine ($TC_SCPx3 - $TC_SCPx5)
• Sum offsets coarse or setup offsets ($TC_ECPx3 - $TC_ECPx5)
• Offset vector l
1
of toolholder with orientation capability ($TC_CARR1 - $TC_CARR3)
• Offset vector l
2
of toolholder with orientation capability ($TC_CARR4 - $TC_CARR6)
• Offset vector l
3
of toolholder with orientation capability ($TC_CARR15 - $TC_CARR17)
Note
The tool base dimension and adapter dimension can only be applied as alternatives.
