Example Twist drill (tool type 200) with tool length (tool parameter 3)
Special points to be noted
The active size of the tool is only defined when the geometry tool length compensation (tool parameters 3 to 5)
and the wear tool length compensation (tool parameters 12 to 14) are added together. The base-dimension/
adapter-dimension tool length compensation is also added in order to calculate the total tool length
compensation in the geometry axes.
References
For information about entering tool dimensions (lengths) in tool parameters 3 to 5 (tool lengths 1 to 3) and how
these are calculated in the three geometry axes, please refer to → Operating Manual.
Note
All three tool parameters 3 to 5 (tool length 1 to 3) are always calculated in the three
geometry axes, irrespective of the tool type.
If more tool lengths are input in the tool parameters 3 to 5 for a tool type than is required as
the minimum, then these extra tool lengths are settled in the geometry axes without any
alarm.
