Fig.1.1 (p) Compensation Vector at the End Point (Point B) of N4 (on Compensation
Plane)
The move direction of A'B' is opposite to that of B'C', so that two compensation vectors,
V1 and V2, are produced at point B' (end point of N4). There is a possibility of
overcutting in this case, so an alarm (PS0272) is issued from N4.
(1) Conditions for issuing the interference alarm
Suppose that the tool direction vector changes considerably from
one block to another due to a move command for a rotation axis. In
this case, an interference alarm is assumed because compensation
vectors are regarded as being generated in the wrong directions
when the path angle difference on the compensation plane is large,
even though the angle difference of the directions of compensation
vectors to be generated by those blocks is small.
Here, the compensation plane is perpendicular to the tool direction
(Va in Fig. 14.14.1(q)) of the first of the two blocks.
Specifically, the conditions below are used for issuing the alarm.
