- 232 -
Explanation
- Selecting a tool change method
Bit 3 (TCT) of parameter No. 5040 selects a tool change method.
This changes the way for specifying tool compensation.
This parameter setting has influence on the following range:
Bit 3 (TCT) of parameter
No. 5040 = 0
(Turret type)
Bit 3 (TCT) of parameter
No. 5040 = 1
(ATC type)
Operation of T
command
Auxiliary function (tool
change) and tool offset
Auxiliary function (tool
indexing) only
Tool compensation Specified with T code Specified with G43.7 D_
Compensation No. of
tool compensation
Specified with T code Specified with D code
Compensation No. of
tool nose radius
compensation
Specified with T code Specified with D code
Command such as
G43
Disabled (alarm) Enabled
Compensation No. of
G43, etc.
- Specified with D code
- T command operation
(1) When bit 3 (TCT) of parameter No.5040 is 0
The T command performs an auxiliary function and tool offset.
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.
