Axis offset (P-TOOL-00006)

For each tool "i" every axis "j" has an offset parameter "wz[i].ax_versatz[j]".

Significance

SDA_GRPMAX

1

Maximum no. of groups, now, only the value 1 is permitted

SDA_AXMAX

application-dependent

Maximum no. of axes per group

CAUTION

The tool axis offsets will be expected in the unit [0,1µm] or [0,0001°].

Axis offset (P-TOOL-00006) 1:

With active kinematic transformation axis specific tool offsets in "ax_versatz[j]" are only taken into consideration if axes are not influenced by transformation function. For RTCP transformation type these axes are all axes above the first three axes with index 0 to 2.

EXAMPLE: The tool axis offsets are: 205 mm for the first axis, 206 mm for the second, 307 mm for the third and -408 mm for the fourth axis.
