Tool Offset Parameters
Chapter 22
22-7
immed shift -- When this parameter is set for “immed shift,” the work
coordinate system shifts when the control executes the block that activates,
deactivates, or changes the tool length value.
delay shift -- When this parameter is set for “delay shift,” the work
coordinate system does not shift until an axis motion takes place using the
axis that the tool length offset applies to. This includes the block that
activates, deactivates, or changes the tool length value.
immed move -- When the control executes a tool length offset, the position
of the cutting tool must change in the machine coordinate system and must
reflect no change in the tool position in the work coordinate system. This
requires tool motion to take place. When this parameter is set for “immed
move,” the tool moves to its offset position when the control executes the
block that activates, deactivates, or changes the tool length value.
delay move -- When the control executes a tool length offset, the position
of the cutting tool must change in the machine coordinate system and must
reflect no change in tool position in the work coordinate system. This
requires tool motion to take place. When this parameter is set for “delay
move,” the tool motion does not take place until an axis motion takes place
using the axis that the tool length offset applies to. This includes the block
that activates, deactivates, or changes the tool length value.

Selection Results
(a) immed shift, immed move
(b) immed shift, delay move
(c) delay shift, delay move
Notes
This is a global parameter; the value set here applies to all axes. This
parameter does not affect the operation of the cutter compensation or the
TTRC features in any way.
For Dual Processing controls, this is a per process parameter. The value set
in the parameters applies to all of the axes assigned to that process.
Important: It is incompatible to select a geometry offset mode of “immed
shift, immed move” when the wear offset mode is configured as “immed
shift, delay move” or a geometry offset mode of “immed shift, delay
move” and a wear offset mode of “immed, shift immed move”. An error
message (INCOMPATIBLE TOOL ACTIVATION MODES) is displayed
and the control is held in E-STOP when the wear and geometry activation
mode is incompatible.
