press , and the CNC records the absolute values of the position, at the moment,
directly move the tool;
7) Measure the diameter "α" (supposing α=15) ;
8) Press key to enter the Offset interface, select the TOOL OFFSET window, then move
the cursor by pressing , key to select the corresponding offset number;
9) Key in the address key by sequence, number key , and key;
10) Move the tool to a safety height to change for another tool;

11) Make the tool to cut on Surface A1;
12) Retract the tool along X axis without Z axis moving and stop the spindle;
13) Measure the distance "βˊ" between the Surface A1 and the workpiece coordinate
origin(supposing βˊ=1) ;
14) Press key to enter the Offset interface, select the TOOL OFFSET page, then move the
cursor by pressing , to select the corresponding offset number;
15) Key in by sequence the address key , sign key , number key , and
key;
16) Make the tool to cut on Surface B1;
17) Retract the tool along Z axis without the movement of X axis, and stop the spindle;
18) Measure the distance "α’ " (supposing α’=10);
19) Press key to enter the Offset interface, select the TOOL OFFSET window, then move
the cursor by pressing , to select the corresponding offset number;
20) Press orderly the address key , number key , and key;
21) Repeat the execution from Step 10 to Step 20 to perform the toolsetting operation for
other
tools.
Note: The offset value may be large by this toolsetting method, so the tool compensation should
be done by
the coordinate offset by the CNC system. (set the BIT4 of the CNC parameter No.003 to 1).
Moreover,
the tool lengths compensation should be performed by using the T code in the 1st block, or the
1st
move block should contain the T code for the tool length compensation.
7.3 Toolsetting by Machine Zero Return
There is no reference tool in this toolsetting methods, when the tool is worn or to be
adjusted, it
