Transformation parameters of the tool

The tool parameters can be managed in the CNC or in an external tool management system (e.g. in the PLC). If the tool parameters are managed in the CNC, i.e. the channel parameter ext_wzv_vorhanden = 0 (see P-CHAN-00016) is set, the tab “Tool Para” and the tool parameter list are available in the TwinCAT3 project.

Example

Tool parameterisation example

For parameterisation in the tool list, see P-TOOL-00009

wz[5].kinematic.param[0] 1538000   # Head offset 1: 153.8 mm

wz[5].kinematic.param[1]   25000   # Head offset 2: 2.5 mm

wz[5].kinematic.param[2]       0   # Head offset 3: 0 mm

wz[5].kinematic.param[5] 900000   # Head offset 6; 90 mm

Notice

The kinematic parameters of the tool can only be specified for default step = 0.
