Activate/Deactivate Online Tool Offset - Siemens SINUMERIK Series Function Manual

W4: Grinding-specific tool offset and tool monitoring
17.2 Online tool offset
Length 1 of tool for spindle 1 in channel 2 is modified as a function of X axis movement.
Note
The online tool offset for a (geometric) grinding tool that is not active can be activated by
specifying the appropriate spindle number.
If the channel number is omitted, the online offset is effective in the same channel.
If the spindle number is omitted, the online offset is applied to the current tool.
An online tool offset can also be called as a synchronized action.

Online offsets are traversed in the basic coordinate system, i.e. even when the workpiece
coordinate system has been rotated, the length compensations always act in parallel to the
coordinates of the unrotated system.
The offset is applied regardless of whether or not the axis to be compensated is traversed in
the current block.
