10.6 Tool and tool offset
10.6.1

General Information

Functionality
During program creation for the workpiece machining, you do not have to take tool lengths or
cutting radius into consideration. You program the workpiece dimensions directly, for
example following the drawing.
The tool data must be entered separately in a special data area.
In the program, you will merely call the required tool with its offset data. The control system
performs the required path compensations based on this data to create the described
workpiece. In doing this, automatic compensation of the swivel angle of the grinding wheel
takes place via the basic dimension of the tool such that the geometry of the wheel is always
entered at under 0 degrees. This also applies to fixed, inclined wheels. The maximum
diameter and the wheel width are input into the wheel data image here.
10.6.2

Tool T

Functionality
The tool selection takes place when the T word is programmed. Whether this is a tool
change or only a preselection, is defined in the machine data. For grinding, the tool change
(tool call) takes place directly with the T word.
Note:
If a specific tool has been activated, it remains stored as an active tool beyond the end of the
program and switching off/on of the control.
If you change a tool manually, enter the change also in the control to make sure the control
knows the correct tools. For example, you can start a block with the new T word in MDA
mode.

Note
In the control system, you can simultaneously store the following maximum values:
● SINUMERIK 802D sl plus: 7 tools with 9 cutting edges each
● SINUMERIK 802D sl pro: 14 tools with 9 cutting edges each.
