Tool length compensation (TLC)

Selection

#TLC ON[ <tool length difference>]

NC programs that have been generated by a programming system and which take a specific tool length into consideration can be used further with TLC, even if the length of the tool on the machine has changed.

Effectiveness

Active up to cancellation or up to the end of the program.

No new offsets or radii of the tool can be compensated, only the length.

A new offset does not take effect until programmed in the absolute measurement system (G90).
