- Compensation plane and plane selection by G17/G18/G19
Creation of a compensation vector is not related to plane selection by
G17/G18/G19.
For example, while circular interpolation is being performed on the XY
(G17) plane, compensation can be applied to a compensation plane
(such as the YZ plane). In grinding wheel wear compensation mode, if
the creation of a compensation vector results in a change in the vector
component, movement along a compensation axis is performed even
when no move command is specified for that axis.
Example 1
With the Y- and Z-axes set as the compensation
axes, a linear interpolation command is executed for
the X- and Y-axes.

Example 2
With the Y- and Z- axes set as the compensation

axes.
