Cycle 3 TOOL DEF
Just as in the NC block TOOL DEF, you can define the number and
radius of an electrode in Cycle 3 TOOL DEF. In addition you can enter
a tool compensation value.
In Cycle 3 TOOL DEF you enter the
„ Tool number T from 1 to 9 999
„
Tool radius R in mm (R > 0)
„
Tool compensation for up to four axes (in mm)
Sign for tool compensation
„ To compensate the tool from the tool datum in the direction of the
positive coordinate axis: compensation value > 0
„
To compensate the tool from the tool datum in the direction of the
negative coordinate axis: compensation value < 0
To enter Cycle 3 TOOL DEF
Open the cycle directory.
Go to Cycle 3.0 TOOL DEF.
Confirm your entry with the ENT key.
Select Cycle 3.0 TOOL DEF.
Enter tool number, e.g. T = 5.
Determine the compensation values for Cycle 3 TOOL
DEF at 0° angular position so that compensation will be
activated with the correct values in the working plane
when the C axis is rotated.
