NAKA Tool Ofset Cancel
In the 4 digits of numeric value following the address T, the first 2 digits
designate the tool number (turret number) and the last 2 digits the tool offset
number.

T□□00 Cancellation of tool offset
NOTE: Although the T code is usually a 4-gidit command as mentioned above,
it may become a 6-digit command depending on a specification as
shown in (4).
In detail, refer to “(4) T code 6-digit specification”.
(2) Tool offset
(a) Due to an error in the mounting of a cutting tool in the turret, tool wear,
tool insert replacement, etc., actual tool nose position generates tool
paths offset from the programmed tool paths. The tool offset function
zeros this offset so that the tool nose can always generate the tool paths
as programmed.
For example, if the workpiece is finished at 62 mm diameter (O.D.)
while it is programmed as X60., this error amount is input to the X off-
set data as “-2 mm” to eliminate the error.
In other words, the tool nose generates tool paths 2 mm offset from the
previous tool paths so that the new paths coincide with the programmed
tool paths.
Therefore, by entering a tool offset number in a program for the cutting
tools that are used for machining a portion requiring high accuracy, in-
put a proper offset value when the program is executed to machine
workpieces.
(b) Designate T□□00 to cancel the tool offset function or if the function
should not be used.

(c) There are two methods of tool offset. The command format as shown in
(1) is currently used. However, some models use the following com-
mand format.

In the 6 digits of numeric value following the address T, the first 3 digits
designate the tool number (turret number) and the last 3 digits the tool offset
number.

NOTE: In the case of T code 6-digit specification, it is possible to change the T
code into 4-digit specification by setting the following NC parameter.
e.g.) To also set only lower turret with the T code 6-digit specification
in the series of NTX, NTXL, STW and STS, use the following
NC parameter setting.
• P5040 bit 1 When the tool offset number is over 100;
0: T code 6-digit specification
1: T code 4-digit specification
