TOMATECH AUTOMATION
3. Select a tool by random (usually the 1st tool, this tool will be used as the reference tool);
4. Position the tool nose of the reference tool to a point (toolsetting point), as shown in Fig.
A;
5. In PRG STATE page of the MDI mode, set up the workpiece coordinate system by the
command G50 X__ Z__;
6. Clear the relative coordinate (U, W), see details in APPENDIX;
7. After the tool is moved to a safety height, select another tool and move it to the setting
point,
as shown in Fig. B;
8. Press key and move the cursor by , key to select the corresponding
offset number of that tool;
9. Press address key , then press key to input the tool offset value of X axis into the
corresponding offset number;
10. Press address key , then press key to input the tool offset value of Z axis into
the corresponding offset number;
11. Repeat the steps from 7 to 10 to perform the toolsetting operation for other tools.

Ⅱ Operation
Note: For the fixed toolsetting, the original system tool offset should be cleared, input the new
offset one
time instead of many times by pressing , . Refer to II OPERATION, Section 7.5.4 about the
tool compensation clearing method.
7.2 Trial Toolsetting
Whether the method of trial toolsetting is inactive is defined by the system parameter
No.012
Bit5.
Steps (workpiece coordinate system by part end surface):

1) Select a tool by random and make it cut on Surface A;
2) Retract the tool along X axis without Z axis moving and stop the spindle; directly press
, and the CNC records the absolute values of the position, at the moment, directly
move the tool;
Press key to enter the Offset interface, select the TOOL OFFSET page, then move
3) the cursor by pressing , key to select the corresponding offset number;
4) Key in by sequence the address key , number key and key;
5) Make the tool cut along Surface B;
6) Retract the tool along Z axis without the movement of X axis, and stop the spindle;
