Sinumerik 840D Tool Offsets

Keyan Posts: 13 Rating: (0)	Dear Friends, i am having sinumerik 840D for my lathe. in tool offset screen i created new roughing tool (tool type number 500). my active working plane is G18 and T5 D1 is active. By pressing Determine offset, i calculated the D1 offset,for X (length1) and Z (length 2). but when i open the Active Wo+Comp, value in length 2 is 0. but length 1 is ok. When i command in MDA like G0 G90 X100 Z0D1 , Z- axis is going to machine 0 , but not to D1 value.But X is ok. machine is not taking length 2 value during movement. When i command in MDA T5D2 the D2 is not becoming active only D1 is becoming active.for any D number commanding only D1 is becoming active. if it is possible to create tool offset like D1, D2, D3 for the same tool like 802D? and tool type number 5 xy (500-...) having any releation with length 1 and length2 ? kindly send me the procedure for making tool offset in Determine offset screen. Regards, keyan

I suspect that on your manual tool setup you are not using the correct tool tip direction this values must also be from 1 to 8, Read the manual regarding tool setup to select the correct tool tip direction - Normally this would be a 3 for a standard lathe with the tip pointing towards X minus and Z minus Hope this can help Denzilg
