Tool parameters 6 - 11: Geometry - tool shape

Description
The shape of the tool is defined with the help of tool parameters 6 to 11. The data is required for the geometry
tool radius compensation.
In most cases, only tool parameter 6 (tool radius 1) is used.
Tool parameter Description
6 Tool length 1
7 Tool length 2
8 Tool radius 1
9 Tool radius 2
10 Tool angle 1
11 Tool angle 2
2D TRC with contour tools
For the definition of contour tools with multiple tool cutting edges, the minimum and maximum limit angle can be
entered. Both limit angles each relate to the vector of the cutting edge center point to the cutting edge reference
point and are counted clockwise.
Tool angle 1 Minimum limit angle per tool cutting edge
Tool angle 2 Maximum limit angle per tool cutting edge

Application
Not used
Not used
The tool radius must be entered for the following tool types
in tool parameter 6 (tool radius 1):
Tool type 1xx Milling tools
Tool type 5xx Turning tools
A tool radius does not have to be entered for drilling tools
(tool type 2xx).
The cutting edge position (tool parameter 2) also has to be
entered for turning tools (tool type 5xx).
