5.1.5 Offset
Explanation
- Offset methods
Two methods are available to geometry offset and wear compensation,
offset with tool movement and compensation with coordinate shift.
Which offset method to select can be specified with parameters LWT
(No. 5002#2 = 0) and LGT (No. 5002#4 = 0). If, however, the tool
geometry and wear offset options are not provided, offsetwith tool
movement is assumed unconditionally.

- Offset with tool movement
The tool path is offset by the X, Y, and Z tool offset values for the
programmed path. The tool offset distance corresponding to the
number specified by the T code is added to or subtracted from the end
position of each programmed block.
The vector with tool offset X, Y, and Z is called the offset vector.
Offset is the same as the offset vector.
This move command block
contains the offset command
