14.4.5 Overcutting by Cutter Compensation
Explanations
- Machining an inside corner at a radius smaller than the cutter radius
When the radius of a corner is smaller than the cutter radius, because
the inner offsetting of the cutter will result in overcuttings. When the
interference check alarm function described later is enabled (parameter
CNI (No.6001#6)=0, parameter CAV (No.6008#5)=0), an alarm is
generated immediately after the previous block starts, and the operation
stops. When the previous block stops in single block operation,
however, overcutting may occur because the cutter moves up to the end
of the block.
If the CNC does not
stop, overcutting
occurs

- Machining a groove smaller than the tool radius
Since the cutter compensation forces the path of the center of the tool to
move in the reverse of the programmed direction, overcutting will
result. When the interference check alarm function described later is
enabled (parameter CNI (No.6001#6)=0, parameter CAV (No.6008#5)
=0), an alarm is generated immediately after the previous block starts,
and the operation stops.
