(2) Tool compensation memory B
Memory for geometry compensation and wear compensation is
prepared separately in tool compensation memory B. Geometry
compensation and wear compensation can thus be set separately.
There is no difference between cutter compensation (D code) and tool
length compensation (H code).
(3) Tool compensation memory C
Memory for geometry compensation and wear compensation is pre-
pared separately in tool compensation memory C. Geometry com-
pensation and wear compensation can thus be set separately. Separate
memories are prepared for cutter compensation (for D code) and for
tool length compensation (for H code).
The above description is summarized as follows:
Tool compensation

Compensation amount

Tool compensation amount
(Geometry compensation value + Wear compensa-
tion value)
Geometry compensation value
Wear compensation value
Geometry compensation value for H code
Geometry compensation value for D code
Wear compensation value for H code
Wear compensation value for D code
(T series)
Tool compensation values include tool geometry compensation values
and tool wear compensation values (Fig. 10.2 (b)).
Tool compensation can be specified without differentiating compensation
for tool geometry from that for tool wear (Fig. 10.2 (c)).
