Rotating Turning Tools; Cutting Edge Position, Cut Direction, And Angle For Turning Tools - Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl Function Manual

W1: Tool offset
2.9 Modification of the offset data for rotatable tools
Activation
Modification of the offset data for rotatable tools is activated in the NC program with the
language commands CUTMOD (in combination with tool carriers with orientation capability) or
CUTMODK (for orientation transformations that were defined with kinematic chains).
See Section "Activating the modification of the offset data for rotatable tools (CUTMOD,
CUTMODK) (Page 161)".
Results
When the function and tool rotation are active, the modified data are made available in system
variables and OPI variables.
See Section "Activating the modification of the offset data for rotatable tools (CUTMOD,
CUTMODK) (Page 161)".

Cutting edge position, cut direction, and angle for turning tools

Turning tools
Turning tools means the following tools whose tool type ($TC_DP1) has values in the range of
500 to 599. Grinding tools (tool types 400 to 499) are equivalent to turning tools.
Tools are treated independently of tool type such as turning tools if:
