3 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].
4 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.
A decimal point can be used when entering a compensation value.
An external input/output device can be used to input or output a cutter
compensation value. See Chapter III–8.
Tool length compensation values can be set using the following functions
described in subsequent subsections: direct input of tool offset value and
counter input of offset value.
64 groups are provided for tool compensation. Tool geometry
compensation or wear compensation can be selected for each group.
In some cases, tool wear compensation or tool geometry compensation
values cannot be input because of the settings in bits 0 (WOF) and 1
(GOF) of parameter 3290. The input of tool compensation values from
the MDI can be inhibited for a specified range of offset numbers. The first
offset number for which the input of a value is inhibited is set in parameter
No. 3294. The number of offset numbers, starting from the specified first
number, for which the input of a value is inhibited is set in parameter No.
3295.
Consecutive input values are set as follows:
1) When values are input for offset numbers, starting from one for which
input is not inhibited to one for which input is inhibited, a warning is
issued and values are set only for those offset numbers for which input
is not inhibited.
2) When values are input for offset numbers, starting from one for which
input is inhibited to one for which input is not inhibited, a warning is
issued and no values are set.
