Tool Offset Parameters

Chapter 22

22-14

This section describes the parameters that are used to configure a tool
magazine or turret or other tool changing device. When a T-word is

programmed that requires a tool change, these parameters are used to set

the number of different tool positions and the direction of rotation of the

tool turret and magazine. Figure 22.2 shows a typical mill tool magazine.

Important: These parameters are used only in conjunction with the

random tool software option.
