CHAPTER 7 TOOL OFFSET AND SETTING
The actual location of tool can be overlooked in programming for simplifying programming. Three
methods including positioning toolsetting, trial toolsetting and machine zero toolsetting are available
in this GSK980TDc system. The tool offset data are obtained from this toolsetting operation.
7.1 Tool Positioning Setting
Steps:

1. Firstly determine if the offset values are zero in X, Z, if not, clear all the tool number offset
values;
2. Set the offset No. for 00 (i.e. T0100,T0300), as for the offset value: (method: execute a move
code or perform the machine zero return in T0100 state, then clear the offset value
automatically as returning to the machine zero);
3. Select a tool by random (usually the 1
st
tool, this tool will be used as the reference tool);
4. Position the tool nose of the reference tool to a point (toolsetting point), as shown in Fig. A;
5. In PRG STATE page of the MDI mode, set up the workpiece coordinate system by the
command G50 X__ Z__;
6. Clear the relative coordinate (U, W), see details in APPENDIX;
7. After the tool is moved to a safety height, select another tool and move it to the setting point,
as shown in Fig. B;
8. Press key and move the cursor by , key to select the corresponding
offset number of that tool;
9. Press address key , then press key to input the tool offset value of X axis into the
corresponding offset number;
10. Press address key , then press key to input the tool offset value of Z axis into
the corresponding offset number;
11. Repeat the steps from 7 to 10 to perform the toolsetting operation for other tools.
