Detailed Description
2.3 Tool cutting edge
Tool Compensation (W1)
2-34 Function Manual, 08/2005 Edition, 6FC5397-0BP10-0BA0
Tool length 1 Not used
Tool length 2 Not used
The tool radius must be entered for the following tool types in tool parameter 6
(tool radius 1):
Tool type 1xx Milling tools
Tool type 5xx Turning tools
Tool radius 1
A tool radius does not have to be entered for drilling tools (tool type 2xx).
The cutting edge position (tool parameter 2) also has to be entered for turning
tools (tool type 5xx).
Tool radius 2
Tool angle 1
Tool angle 2
Not used
2.3.6 Wear tool length compensation (tool parameters 12 to 14)
Meaning
While geometry tool length compensation (tool parameters 3 to 5) is used to define the size
of the tool, wear tool length compensation can be used to correct the change in the active
tool size. The active tool size can change due to:
• Differences between the tool fixture on the tool measurement machine and the tool fixture
on the machine tool
• Tool wear caused during service life by machining
• Definition of a finishing allowance.
2.3.7 Wear tool length compensation (tool parameters 15 to 20)
Active tool size
The geometry tool compensation (tool parameters 3 to 5) and the wear tool length
compensation (tool parameters 12 to 14) are added together (geometry tool length 1 is
added to wear tool length 1, etc.) to arrive at the size of the active tool.
Meaning
While geometry tool radius compensation (tool parameters 6 to 11) is used to define the
shape of the tool, wear tool radius compensation can be used to correct the change in the
active tool shape.
The active tool size can change due to:
• Tool wear caused during service life by machining
• Definition of a finishing allowance.
