Fig.1.1 (h) Operation in the compensation mode (3)
(4) Even when the tool movement changes linear to circular (helical),
circular (helical) to linear, or circular (helical) to circular (helical),
the start, end, and center points of a circular (helical) movement are
projected on the compensation plane that is perpendicular to the
tool axis, a compensation vector is calculated for the plane, then the
vector is added to the originally specified position to obtain the
command position. Then the tool is moved linearly or circularly
(helically) to the obtained command position. In this case, the tool
moves circularly (helically) in the currently selected plane. The
tool does not move circularly (helically) in the compensation plane.
Therefore, when the tool compensation is for circular movement,
the compensation plane must be the XY, YZ, or ZX plane.
