Explanation 

  - 

Decimal point input 

 

A decimal point can be used when entering a offset value. 

 

 -  Other method 

 

An external input/output device can be used to input or output a tool offset value. See Chapter III-8 
“Data Input/Output” in the OPERATOR’S MANUAL (Common to Lathe System/Machining Center 
System) (B-64604EN). 

 

Tool length offset values can be set using the following functions described in subsequent 
subsections: direct input of tool offset value measured, direct input of tool offset value measured B, 
and counter input of offset value. 

 

  - 

Number of tool offset values 

 

128 pairs are provided for tool offset. The number of groups can be optionally extended to 200. For 
the multi-path control, the above number of groups can be used for each path. Tool geometry offset 
or wear offset can be selected for each pair. 

 

  - 

Disabling input of offset values 

 

In some cases, tool wear offset or tool geometry offset values cannot be input because of the settings 
in bits 0 (WOF) and 1 (GOF) of parameter No.3290. The input of tool offset values from the MDI 
can be inhibited for a specified range of offset numbers. The first offset number for which the input 
of a value is inhibited is set in parameter No. 3294. The number of offset numbers, starting from the 
specified first number, for which the input of a value is inhibited is set in parameter No. 3295. 

 

Consecutive input values are set as follows:

numbers for which input is not inhibited. 

2) 

When values are input for offset numbers, starting from one for which input is inhibited to one 
for which input is not inhibited, a warning is issued and no values are set. 

 

  - 

Displaying radius and T 

 

The radius and T are not displayed if the tool nose radius compensation is not available (bit 7 (NCR) 
of parameter No.8136 is 1). 

 

  - 

Changing offset values during automatic operation 

 

When offset values have been changed during automatic operation, bits 4 (LGT) and 6 (LWM) of 
parameter No.5002 can be used for specifying whether new offset values become valid in the next 
move command or in the next T code command.

  - 

Offset values for a program created in diameter programming 

 

Enter diameter values for the offset values for axes for which diameter programming is used. 

 

  - 

Tool geometry offset value and tool wear offset value 

 

If measured values are set on the tool geometry offset screen, all offset values become geometry 
offset values and all wear offset values are set to 0. If measured values are set on the tool wear offset 
screen, the differences between the measured offset values and the current wear offset values 
become the new offset values. 

 

  - 

Release of both axes 

 

When the record button is provided on the machine side, the tool can be released in the directions of 
the two axes by setting bit 2 (PRC) of parameter No. 5005 or using the position record signal PRC. 
For details on the position record signal PRC, refer to the manual issued by the machine tool builder. 

 

2.1.3 

Direct Input of Tool Offset Value Measured B 

Explanation 

  - 

Basic procedure to set tool offset value 

 

To use the direct input of offset value measured B for 2 spindle lathe, first specify the spindle to be 
measured, using the spindle measurement selection signal S2TLS.

 

(1)  Execute manual reference position return. 
 

By executing manual reference position return, a machine coordinate system is established. 

 

The tool offset value is computed on the machine coordinate system. 

(2)  Select manual handle mode or manual continuous feed mode and set the tool offset write mode 

selection signal GOQSM to “1”. The screen is automatically changed to the tool offset screen 
(geometry), and the “OFST” indicator starts blinking in the status indication area at the bottom 
of the screen, which indicates that the tool offset writing mode is ready. When the direct input 
of offset value measured B for 2 spindle lathe is in use, the spindle measurement selection 
signal S1MES or S2MES, whichever is applicable, becomes “1”. 

 

 CAUTION 

 

After this, it is impossible to switch the spindle measurement selection signal 
S2TLS until the tool offset write mode selection signal GOQSM becomes “0”. 

 

(3)  Select a tool to be measured. 
(4)  When the cursor does not focus on the tool offset number desired to be set, move the cursor to 

the desired offset number using the page key and cursor key.   

 

The cursor can also be focused on the tool offset number desired to be set automatically by the 
tool offset number selection signals OFN0 to OFN5 an OFN6 to OFN9 (when bit 5 (QNI) of 
parameter No. 5005=1). 

 

In this case, the position of the cursor cannot be changed on the tool offset screen using page 
keys or cursor keys. 

(5)  Near the tool to the sensor by manual operation. 
(6)  Place the tool edge to a contacting surface of the sensor by manual handle feed. 

2.SETTING AND DISPLAYING DATA

 OPERATION 

 B-64604EN-1/01

 

- 328 - 

 

Bring the tool edge in contact with the sensor. This causes the tool offset writing signals to 
input to be CNC. 

 

The following tool offset write signals are set up according to the setting of the bit 3 (TS1)of 
parameter No. 5004. 

 

When the parameter is 0: +MIT1, –MIT1, +MIT2, –MIT2 

 

When the parameter is 1: +MIT1 only 

 

If the tool offset writing signal is set to “1”: 
i) 

The axis is interlocked in this direction and its feed is stopped. 

ii)  The tool offset value extracted by the tool offset memory (tool geometry offset value) 

which corresponds to the offset number is indicated by the cursor. 

(7)  For both X-axis and Z-axis, their offset values are set by operations (5) and (6). 
(8)  Repeat operations (3) to (7) for all necessary tools. 
(9)  Set the tool offset writing mode signal GOQSM to “0”. 
 

The writing mode is canceled and the blinking “OFST” indicator light goes off. 

 

When the direct input of offset value measured B for 2 spindle lathe is in use, the spindle 
measurement selection signal S1MES or S2MES for the spindle being measured becomes “0”. 

 

  - 

Basic procedure to set workpiece coordinate shift value 

To use the direct input of offset value measured B for 2 spindle lathe, first specify the spindle to be 
measured, using the spindle measurement selection signal S2TLS. 
(1)  Set the tool geometry offset values of each tool in advance. 
(2)  Execute manual reference position return. 
 

By executing manual reference position return, the machine coordinate system is established. 

 

The workpiece coordinate system shift amount is computed based on the machine coordinate system 
of the tool. 

(3)  Set the workpiece coordinate system shift value writing mode selection signal WOQSM to “1”. 
 

The screen automatically switches to the workpiece shifting screen, the “WFST” indicator starts 
blinking at the status indicator area in the bottom of the screen, which indicates that the workpiece 
coordinate system shift value writing mode is ready. 

 

When the direct input of offset value measured B for 2 spindle lathe is in use, the workpiece 
coordinate system screen is selected, and the S1MES or S2MES (spindle measurement select) signal, 
whichever is applicable, becomes “1”. 

 

 CAUTION 

 

After this, it is impossible to switch the spindle measurement selection signal 
S2TLS until the workpiece coordinate system shift value write mode selection 
signal WOQSM becomes “0”. 

 
(4)  Select a tool to be measured. 
(5)  Check tool offset numbers. 
 

The tool offset number corresponding to the tool required for measurement, shall be set in the 
parameter No.5020 in advance. 

 

The tool offset number can also be set automatically by setting the tool offset number selection 
signals OFN0 to OFN5 and OFN6 to OFN9 (with bit 5 (QNI) of parameter No. 5005=1). 

(6)  Manually approach the tool to an end face of the workpiece. 
(7)  Place the tool edge to the end face (sensor) of the workpiece using manual handle feed. 
 

When the tool edge contacts the end face of the workpiece, input the workpiece coordinate system 
shift value write signal WOSET. 

 

The workpiece coordinate system shift value on the Z–axis is automatically set. 

(8)  Release the tool. 
(9)  Set the workpiece coordinate system shift value write mode selection signal WOQSM to “0”. 
 

The writing mode is canceled and the blinking “WSFT” indicator light goes off. 

 

When the direct input of offset value measured B for 2 spindle lathe is in use, the S1MES or S2MES 
(spindle measurement select) signal, whichever is applicable, becomes “0”.
