Delta values for lengths and radii

Delta values are offsets in the length and radius of a tool.
A positive delta value describes a tool oversize (

DL, DR, DR2>0). If

you are programming the machining data with an allowance, enter
the oversize value in the

T block of the part program.

A negative delta value describes a tool undersize (

DL, DR, DR2<0).

An undersize is entered in the tool table for wear.
Delta values are usually entered as numerical values. In a

T block,

you can also assign the values to Q parameters.
Input range: You can enter a delta value with up to ± 99.999 mm.

Delta values from the tool table influence

the graphical representation of the

tool

. The

representation of the

workpiece

remains the same

in the simulation.
Delta values from the

T block change the

represented size of the

workpiece

during the

simulation. The simulated

tool size

remains the

same.

Entering tool data into the program

The number, length and radius of a specific tool is defined in the

G99 block of the part program.

Select the tool definition: Press the

TOOL DEF key

Tool number: Each tool is uniquely identified by its

tool number
Tool length: Compensation value for the tool

length
Tool radius: Compensation value for the tool

radius

In the programming dialog, you can transfer the value

for tool length and tool radius directly into the input

line by pressing the desired axis soft key.
