14. TOOL COMPENSATION FUNCTION
NC FUNCTION
135
The tool geometry compensation function compensates the tool figure or
tool mounting position. The tool wear compensation function
compensates the wear of a tool tip. These compensation amounts (offset
values) can be set separately.

Tool geometry compensation
and tool wear compensation
In the system in which the Y axis is the fourth axis, the Y axis can be
compensated by the tool offset value. Tool geometry/ware compensation
is valid for the Y-axis offset.
NOTE
1 To use the Y-axis offset, the Y axis must be a linear axis.
2 The direct input function of tool offset value or direct input
B function of tool compensation amount measured value
cannot be used for the Y-axis offset.
