Tooling Settings
Anaheim Automation’s LC software provides for a tool library of up to 100 tools.
Each tool has an associated tool number, description and length offset. The
length offset is used when tool length compensation (G43 or G44) is used in a G-
Code program.
4 To Set Up the Tool Library
1. Choose Tooling from the Setup menu. The Tooling Setup dialog box will
appear.
2. Enter the tool description for each tool next to the appropriate tool
number. The program will use this description when referring to a given
tool.
3. Enter the length of the tool relative to a common reference point. For
example, if there is a locating feature on an endmill holder that can be
used to maintain a repeatable location between the endmill holder and the
spindle, use the axial distance between the tip of the tool and the locating
feature of the end mill holder as the tool length offset. Note that this
method assumes each tool has its own end mill holder.
4. Repeat the above for each tool in your library.
