- 1550 -
- T command operation
(1) When bit 3 (TCT) of parameter No.5040 is 0
The T command performs an auxiliary function and tool
compensation.
The code signal issued to the machine is the T command value
except the last 1 to 3 digits.
For example, suppose that the following command is issued
when 2 is set in parameter No. 5028 (the number of digits
comprising the offset number in the T code command):
T0313 ;
The T code signal sent to the machine indicates 03.
The tool compensation number, indicated by the lowest 2 digits,
is 13.
(2) When bit 3 (TCT) of parameter No. 5040 is 1
The T command performs an auxiliary function only.
In this case, the code signal issued to the machine is the T
command value.
For example, suppose that the following is specified:
T0313 ;
The T code signal issued to the machine is 0313. The T code
signal is not affected by the setting of parameter No. 5028 (the
number of digits comprising the offset number in the T code
command).
The tool compensation number is not affected by this command.
- Tool compensation
(1) When bit 3 (TCT) of parameter No.5040 is 0
The T command performs tool compensation.
(2) When bit 3 (TCT) of parameter No.5040 is 1
The T command does not perform tool compensation.
To provide tool compensation, specify G43.7 D_.
Tool compensation is performed in the same way as with the T
command when bit 3 of parameter No. 5040 is 0.
- Compensation number of tool compensation
(1) When bit 3 (TCT) of parameter No.5040 is 0
The lowest 1 to 3 digits of the T command are used. The
number of digits is set in parameter No. 5028.
When the tool geometry/wear compensation option is provided,
tool geometry compensation and wear compensation may also be
assigned different compensation values by setting bit 1 (LGN) of
parameter No. 5002.
For details, see "TOOL SELECTION FUNCTION".
(2) When bit 3 (TCT) of parameter No.5040 is 1
Except that a compensation number is specified with a D
command, the same operation as (1) above is performed.
