Tool Radius Offset
Tool radius offset is available with the MILLPWR
G2
. The tool center
moves in the working plane along the programmed path or to the
programmed coordinates. When programming a part profile, the path
of the tool is a half of a diameter away from the depth of the cut.
Offset the tool to the right-hand or left-hand of the cutting edge.
“Right” or “Left” refers to the side of the cutting edge to which the
tool offsets. Program tool offset as Right or Left according to the
desired cutting edge.
Moving without radius offset
The tool center moves in the working plane along the programmed
path or to the programmed coordinates. Program tool offset as Center
when no radius offset is needed.
Applications: Drilling and boring, pre-positioning.
