Notes
The part programer can temporarily override the axis selected here by
programming a G43.1. Refer to your programming and operation manual
for more information.
This is a global parameter; the value set here applies to all axes. For Dual
Processing controls, this is a per process parameter. The value set in the
parameters applies to all of the axes assigned to that process.
Function
Use this parameter to determine the maximum number of tool offsets that
may be entered in the tool offset tables. Any program that calls an offset
number greater than this parameter generates an error or may be used as a
tool life group number. The control does not allow the entry of a tool
offset number in the offset tables that is greater than this parameter.
