Entering the tool offset, tool nose radius and orientation

for TNRC in offset page on CNC simulator

Objectives : At the end of this exercise you shall be able to
• identify the tool offset page
• enter tool data in offset page.

Job Sequence

• Press function key OFFSET SETTING.
• Press chapter selection soft key [OFFSET] or press OFFSET SETTING several times until the tool compensation
screen is displayed.

• Pressing soft key [GEOM] displays tool geometry compensation values as in Fig 1.
• Pressing soft key [WEAR] displays tool wear compensation values. (Fig 2)

Fig 1 Fig 2

• Move the cursor to the compensation value to be set or changed using page keys and cursor keys, or enter
the compensation number for the compensation value to be set or changed and press soft key [NO.SRH].

• To set a compensation value, enter a value and press soft key [INPUT]. To change the compensation value,
enter a value to add to the current value (a negative value to reduce the current value) and press soft key
[+INPUT]. Or, enter a new value and press soft key [INPUT].

• TIP is the number of the virtual tool tip (see Programming).
• TIP may be specified on the geometry compensation screen or on the wear compensation screen.
Note:A decimal point can be used when entering a compensation value.
Procedure for entering tool offset data in CNC simulator and on machine will be same.

• Dimensions and annotations (2 methods): Select the import (Show model annotations) dimensions used to
create the model
• Create (New reference) dimentsions (Note: reference dimensions cannot be changed) (Fig 3)
• When importing dimensions try using the feature/view option versus inserting all the dimesnions for the mode as
it will cluster all them togerther. Feature helps reduce the cluster and yet the dimensions are editable, providing
the benfit to edit the actual parts and assemblies in a bi-directional fashion from the drawing.

• Editing the sheet: Use the “Note” tool to enter your name and part number. (Fig 4)
