How can I find len offset and Dia offset

[Behzad]

Hi guys I am new at Mastercam job and I have alot problems,

could any one tell me where can I find any chart which tell me about Dia offset or Len offset numbers. Do I have to get it from the tools or how can I find it?

Do you mean from Macros or from a NC program? Are you talking about when programming using Mastercam or some other method? So more information will help greatly. Welcome to the forum.

Hi. Thank you for Email. I mean where the Legth and Dia offset Number is come from and if I want to create new tool how can I find the legth and Dia offset number of the tool, before I save it on tool parameter.!

this doesn't sound like a Mastercam question.

it sounds like machine setup question.

Tool parameters on the machine tool? Normally there is a tool list made by the programmer to run the program on the machine tool. If not then you would have to go through the program and see what it is using. The normal process is to make the tool length and height offset the same as the tool. On some machines they take care of this for you and you just worry about the tool number, but still have to keep the correct height and diameter offset set on the machine tool. For doing this on the machine tool everyone of them is different and that is not something easily answered on board. I would tell you to contact your machine supplier and ask them if an Application person can come in and help go over everything on the machine.

Okay well sounds like you need an experienced person to come in and help you out, Where are you located at? I know people all over the world and might be able to point you in the right direction. Me I am not able to help out I was in the Hospital for 15 days about 2 weeks ago and still recovering, but again great group of people here and I am sure someone could point the right person in your direction.

 

Do not worry about the English you are doing just fine. My wife is Brazilian so English is not her 1st language so for me piecing together words to get an idea is not a problem. Our Children our Tri-Lingual English, Portuguese and some Spanish.
