Inadvertent operation while in this state may result in the tool being dropped so be sure to give attention to this point This operation is employed when it is necessary to detach a tool manually for some reason Carry out this operation while securely supporting the tool by hand to keep it from being dropped 22 Chapter 3 Basic Operation Chapter 4 Operation in the RML 1 Mode This chapter explains basic operations when the RML 1 command set is selected 23 4 1 What Is the Tool length Offset When a tool is changed and the tool length changes the cutting position along the Z axis also changes When the tool is changed it is necessary to perform some operation that takes the tool length into consideration such as for example resetting ZO the Z axis origin point The tool length offset is a function that automatically adjusts the Z axis position while taking the tool length into account In short it is sufficient to set ZO only once at the start Then after the tool is changed adjustment to keep the ZO position the same is performed automatically e Before tool length offset e After tool length offset Spindle unit gt ra Y Reference position 7 i i Offset Offset Offset value A value B value C Tool length A Aligned with the reference position after correction Tool length B M Tool length C To enable this it is necessary to m
