- 1066 -
NOTE
1 The format of specified-direction tool length
compensation is the same as that for three-
dimensional tool compensation. When using
specified-direction tool length compensation, set bit
0 (DDT) of parameter No. 7711 to 1.
2 A three-dimensional space in which specified-
direction tool length compensation is to be
performed is determined by the axis addresses
specified in G41. If Xp, Yp, or Zp is not specified,
specified-direction tool length compensation is
performed along the X-axis, Y-axis, or Z-axis.
3 Specify I, J, and K in a G41 block at all times. If any
of I, J, or K is missing, ordinary tool length
compensation is performed.
4 Usually, specified-direction tool length
compensation is started by the G41 command.
When the G42 command is specified, compensation
is performed in the direction opposite to that of G41.

NOTE
A compensation vector can be cancelled by
specifying G40; only. In this case, no movement is
made on a rotation axis.
