Additive Offsets - Siemens SINUMERIK 840Di sl Programming Manual

Tool offsets

8.16 Additive offsets

• T number, and
• D number can be set,
that do not have to be reprogrammed and are effective after Power ON/Reset.
Example
All machining is performed with the same grinding wheel.
Machine data can be set to keep the current tool active after Reset; see
/PGA/Programming Manual Advanced; Free D-Number Assignment, Cutting Edge Numbers.
8.16 Additive offsets
Function
Additive offsets are essentially process offsets which can be programmed during machining.
They refer to the geometrical data of a tool edge and are thus components of the tool edge
data.
The data of an additive offset are addressed via a DL number (DL: location-dependent;
offsets relative to relevant location) and enter tool offset via parameter display in the
Parameter area.
