Description
A new tool offset parameter has been introduced to displace the holder position along the tool axis. The Adapter Offset option has been added in the Tools Setup dialog box to support the displacement of the holder position along the tool axis. You can now modify the holder-tool assembly. The associated ADAPTER_OFFSET_FROM_TOOL parameter can be output in the CL file as a PPRINT statement.
Benefits
This enhancement eliminates the need to create multiple assemblies of holders and tools. The addition of the ADAPTER_OFFSET_FROM_TOOL parameter in the CL data makes the code clear to programmers.
