Hi

I have a puma 230m with Fanuc 21i tb control. I am cutting some lots across the end face of a turned tube(looks like a castle top). Does anyone know how the operator offsets to compensate for the slot width. I am cutting the slot on both sides so we can make it bigger or smaller. I think he has to put a value in the "R" on his offsets but is the "T" used and if so how is it used? We can't find it in the manual as it relates to c-axis. Do I need to program any specific code?

Are you using G12.1 (Polar Coordinate Interpolation)? If so, you can use G41/G42. Here's a document from Kaspar @ Doosan that may help.
