Detailed Description
2.8 Special handling of tool compensations
Tool Compensation (W1)
Function Manual, 08/2005 Edition, 6FC5397-0BP10-0BA0
2-115
Note
"Special handling of tool compensations" pays particular attention to tool compensations with
evaluation of sign for tool length with wear and temperature fluctuations.
The following are taken into account:
• Tool type
• Transformations for tool components
• Assignment of tool length components to geometry axes independently of tool type

2.8.1 Relevant setting data
SD42900-42960
Setting data SD42900-SD42940 can be used to make the following settings with reference to
tool compensation:
• Sign of the tool length
• Sign of the wear
• Behavior of the wear components when mirroring geometry axes
• Behavior of the wear components when changing the machining plane via setting data
• Allocation of the tool length components independent of actual tool type
• Transformation of wear components into a suitable coordinate system for controlling the
effective tool length
Note
In the following description, the wear includes the total values of the following components:
• Wear values: $TC_DP12 to $TC_DP20
• Sum offset, consisting of:
– Wear values: $SCPX3 to $SCPX11
– Setup values: $ECPX3 to $ECPX11
