Detailed Description 
  2.3 Tool cutting edge 
Tool Compensation (W1) 
Function Manual, 08/2005 Edition, 6FC5397-0BP10-0BA0 
2-35 
Active tool shape 
The geometry tool radius compensation (tool parameters 6 to 11) and the wear tool radius 
compensation (tool parameters 15 to 20) are added together (geometry tool radius 1 is 
added to wear tool radius 1, etc.) to arrive at the shape of the active tool. 
2.3.8  Base dimension/adapter dimension tool length compensation 
(tool parameters 21 to 23) 
Meaning 
Tool base dimension/adapter dimension can be used when the reference point of the 
toolholder (tool size) differs from the reference point of the toolholder. 
This is the case when: 
•  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.
