Tool setting arm error MSG-500 SL-253

[fordav11]

Anyone know which parameter holds the reference data for the tool setting arm? There's about 0.020" error compared to where it should be in the geometry when a tool is set manually. Would be nice to re-set the arm so it works right :-)
Thanks.

It's a STD fanuc parameter. If no one can answer I'll boot up my computer and take a look. Pretty easy thing to fix.

Nc parameters 5015, 5016 & 5017. refer to MTB parameter list for original settings

ah yes! I looked up those numbers in the manual and it has a small diagram explaining what they are :-)
5015 is X+ switch
5016 is X- switch
5017 is Z+ switch
5018 is Z- switch

The description is "These parameters are related to the function of input of tool offset value
measured B. They set the distance (with sign) between the measurement reference
position and sensor contact surface."

I missed it before because the description doesn't mention a tool setting arm :-/

HELLO

I Have the same problem with a hitachi seiki ht25 10tf
BUT i can not find the parameters For compensation.
i'm able to find the rest but it stops at 5013 and begins again with 5110!!!


greeting bertus

Fanuc may have moved the numbers around. you'll probably need a 10-series parameter manual to find it. try checking through the parameters for three 6 or 7 digit numbers with signs and the 4th one a 0.
I'll get my numbers today and post them here.
In the manual they are under "Parameters of Tool Compensation' Possibly labelled XP, XM, ZP, ZM. (the P/M mean plus/minus)
