Selecting additive offsets (DL)

Function
Additive offsets can be considered as process offsets that can be programmed in the
machining. They refer to the geometrical data of a cutting edge and are therefore a
component of tool cutting data.
Data of an additive offset are addressed using a DL number (DL: Location­dependent; offsets
regarding the location of use) and entered via the operator interface.
Application
Dimension errors caused be the location of use can be compensated using additive offsets.
Syntax
DL=<number>
Significance
DL
<number>
Note
The machine data is used to define the number of additive offsets and also activate them ( →
carefully observe the machine OEM's data!).
404
Command to activate an additive offset
The additive tool offset data to be activated is specified using the
<number> parameter.
