In the function for tool length compensation along the tool axis, set the
control point shift vector. This parameter is valid when bit 5 (SVC) of
parameter No. 19665 is 1 and bit 4 (SBP) of parameter No. 19665 is 1.

7.1.19 RISC Processor Operation
The three–dimensional cutter compensation function is used with
machines that can control the direction of tool axis movement by using
rotation axes (such as the B– and C–axes). This function performs cutter
compensation by calculating a tool vector from the positions of the
rotation axes, then calculating a compensation vector in a plane
(compensation plane) that is perpendicular to the tool vector.
There are two types of cutter compensation : Tool side compensation and
leading edge compensation. Which is used depends on the type of
machining.
Refer to the applicable operator’s manual for detailed descriptions about
the operation of each function. This subsection focuses on explanations
about how to set parameters.
