9.10 Online tool length compensation (TOFFON, TOFFOF)
Function
Use the system variable $AA_TOFF[<n> ] to overlay the effective tool lengths in accordance
with the three tool directions three-dimensionally in real time.
The three geometry axis identifiers are used as index <n>. Thus, the number of active
direction offsets is determined by the geometry axes that are active at the same time.
All offsets can be active at the same time.
The online tool length compensation function can be used for:
● Orientation transformation TRAORI
● Orientable toolholder TCARR
Note
Online tool length compensation is an option, which must be enabled in advance. This
function is only practical in conjunction with an active orientation transformation or an
active orientable toolholder.
