Tool Offset Data

Notes

The types of data that you can access in the tool offset table depends on the type of:

CNC (M, T or Power Mate) and

Tool offset memory (A, B, or C)

that you purchased for your CNC.

The Series 160i/180i W CNC, when using FOCA/HSSB, does not support tool offset data.

	Data type details.
	Number of allowed tool offsets for series.
	Significant digits before and after a decimal point.

Data type details

	Machining Series – Memory Type A (including Power Mate and Series 300i/310i/320i ).
	Machining Series – Memory Type B
	Machining Series – Memory Type C
	Lathe Series / Tool Offset – Memory Type A
	Lathe Series – Memory Type B

Number of allowed tool offsets for series

The total number of tool offsets that you can access for each memory type depends upon the number of tool offsets that you have purchased for your CNC.

The number of allowed tool offsets for series are:

CNC	Total number of allowed Tool offsets
Series 150/150i M	32, 99, 200, 499, or 999
Series 150 T	32, 64, or 160
Series 150TT	16, 32 or 80 (each path)
Series 160/180-210, 160i/180i/210i, 0i M	32, 64, 99, 200, 400, 499 or 999
Series 160/180/210, 160i/180i/210i, 0i T	16, 32, 64, or 99
Series 300i/310i/320i	16, 32, 64, 99, 200, 400, 499, 999 or 2000
Power Mate H	99
Power Mate i	32, 64, 99, 200, 400, 499 or 999

Significant digits before and after a decimal point

The number of significant digits you can enter before and after the decimal point include the following.

For	Number of Digits
Linear axis	Before and after the decimal point	Is a function of the current input unit.
	Example Millimeters vs. Inches
Inches	Before the decimal point	Up to 3 digits
	After the decimal point	4 digits
	Example 999.9999 is valid. 9999.9999 is not valid.
Millimeters	Before the decimal point	Up to 4 digits
	After the decimal point	3 digits

Note: The Power Mate control only supports Machining Series memory type A.
