Matching Tool Length & Dia Offset to Tool Number

Q - How do I make my diameter and length offset number match my tool numbers?ToolNum-2

A - From the Main Menu select Settings > Machine Definition Manager.

Click on the Contron Definition icon.

 

In the Control ToolNum-3Definition select the Tool topic. In the Tool offset register section set the radio button to Add to tool. To have the Length and Diameter match the tool number set the value to 0. If you need the Length and Diameter to be different then simply enter a different number in one of the fields and that will be added to the tool number. With the settings shown on the right you would get:

  • T3
  • H3
  • D3

Assuming thetool was tool number 3 and the control was Fanuc based.
