T00 will cancel the currently commanded tool wear offset function.
Cancel the tool wear offset with T00 or T0 commands.
When T code is commanded together with any address other than "O" or "N", it will be
considered as a tool wear offset and the first or second digit will be ignored.
(Example) G00 X10.0 Z20.0 T201 ;  this case T code will be considered as T01.

 Tool geometry offset

Tool shape and mounting position will be compensated.
With input the offset, it will be unnecessary to consider a tool shift amount.
(Example)
When the tool length which is longer or shorter than the standard tool length is installed
in the X, Y-axis, input the difference as the plus or minus value.
2  (installed tool length - standard tool length) = the value of tool geometry offset
Standard tool length: Tool length up to the center of the guide bush during upon zero point
positioning.

Tool geometry offset will shift the work coordinate (ABSOLUTE). This means that position
after tool selection is shifted in plus or minus direction by tool geometry offset.

8-18
 NOTICE
 To work the Z-axis geometry offset, command the Z-axis coordinate value (absolute) in a
block for G00 positioning after tool selection.

 Operation
(1) This function will select the tool number which is specified with the ,A00 or ,A
command
 For the gang tool post, the A-axis will move to the specified tool position after the
completion of X-axis reference point return.
 For the turret, the Y-axis will return to the reference point and then B-axis will move to
the specified tool position. After that the turret will index the specified tool number.
(2) The axes will move to the machining stand-by position quickly.
 The “machining stand-by position” means a position commanded with G170 X; or G170
Y ; in the program.
 Normally the X or Y setting is "bar diameter + 1.0mm".
 Commanded value of X or Y with G170 will be valid only in the initial approach after
commanding G170.
 Commanded value of X or Y with G170 can be cleared by reset
 Although an approach function can be commanded in a movement block, it is better to be
inputted in a cutting process command. (The alarm will occur if the tool selection is
commanded while the tool commanded in the approach function moves. In a cutting
process, the probability of an alarm occasion becomes small.)
Example)
In a cutting process of T200 from "b" to "c" shown in a drawing below, commanding the
G170 Y21.0;
,A1600 ;
will select the T1600 and will move it to the machining stand-by (bar diameter+1.0mm)
position.

8-9-2 , E Approach Function

NOTICE
 Pay attention tool collision when commanding “,E” because the E-axis will return to the
reference point when commanding a tool selection T11  T20 on HEAD1.
 Command ",E" into the HEAD 1 side program.
 ",E" cannot be commanded in a macro program.
 When an alarm occurs during the execution of ",E", set the E-axis coordinate system
again.
 G00, G01 of the gang tool post side and M, S, T codes can be commanded in the same
block with ",E" approach command.
 ",E" command does not synchronize with the block command. It means that the program
progresses without waiting the completion of ",E".

8-10 Heat Expansion Compensation Function
Use this function when performing the heat expansion compensation of Y-axis.

 Command (G codes for heat expansion compensation)

G210: Heat expansion compensation cancel
······· does not shift the coordinate system of heat expansion compensation
G211: Heat expansion compensation 1
······· The coordinate system shift that considers the heat expansion coefficient 1
G212: Heat expansion compensation 2
······· The coordinate system shift that considers the heat expansion coefficient 2
G213: Heat expansion compensation 3
······· The coordinate system shift that considers the heat expansion coefficient 3
G551: Heat expansion measurement
······· Selects the tools number T1600 and then measure the heat expansion.
Command G551 both on HEAD1 and HEAD2. (Waiting each other.)

CAUTION
 It’s at Y0~Y0.5, E17.0 position after G551 completion. Therefore pay attention to the tool
collision. If there is fear of collision, execute reference point return of Y and E axes after
G551 command..

 Operation
(1) Check the data on the heat expansion compensation screen.
(2) Set the G code for heat expansion compensation into an execution program.
G551 is commanded after M20 on both HEAD1 and HEAD2.
G212 is inputted just before the tool selection that executes the heat expansion
compensation on HEAD1.
G211 is inputted just before the tool selection that executes the heat expansion
compensation on HEAD2.
 Use (1.0) for the heat expansion coefficient 2 on HEAD1 and (0.7) for the heat expansion
coefficient 1 on the HEAD2 normally. For the other data, use the initial setting data.
 When the Y-axis heat expansion value is changed with circumstances or machining
condition, change the heat expansion compensation coefficient 13.
E.g.) when the machining outer diameter of Y-axis has displacement in positive direction,
command the G code with biggest coefficient.
G212 (Heat expansion compensation 2 : compensated magnification 1.0)
 G213 (Heat expansion 3 : compensated magnification 1.3)
 Heat expansion compensation data can be changed to any value when it’s required to
use other than initial setting data..
(3) Press the soft key [MASTER SET] on the counter screen and switch the HEAT
COMPENSATION MATER SET “ON”.

(4) Press the SIMUL key to turn the light on, and press the START button to
