used in the transformation. Unlike the case of a toolholder with orientation capability, the wear
values are thus always included in the transformation irrespective of the G code of group 56.

Description of function
Sum offsets
Several sum offsets (DL numbers) can be defined per D number. This allows you to determine,
for example, workpiecelocationdependent compensation values and assign them to a cutting
edge. Sum offsets have the same effect as wear, i.e., they are added to the compensation
values of the D number. The data are permanently assigned to a D number.
Attitudes
You can define the following settings in machine data:
● Activate sum offset
● Define maximum quantity of DL data sets to be created in NCK memory
● Define maximum quantity of DL numbers to be assigned to a D number
● Define whether the sum offsets (fine/coarse) are to be saved during data backup
● Define the sum offset to be activated, if:
– A new cutting edge compensation is activated
– An operator panel front RESET is performed
– An operator panel front START is performed
– The end of the program has been reached
The name is oriented to the logic of the corresponding machine data for tools and cutting edges.
The "setup offset" and "sum offset fine" can be read and written via system variables and
corresponding OPI services.
Note
When tool management is active, a machine data can be used to define whether the sum offset
of a tool activated during a programmed tool change remains unchanged or is set to zero.
