6.COMPENSATION FUNCTION PROGRAMMING B-63944EN-2/02
- 104 -
CAUTION
1 Specifying tool length compensation (a shift type)
first and then executing an incremental
programming causes the tool length compensation
value to be reflected in the coordinates only, not in
the travel distance of the machine; executing an
absolute programming causes the tool length
compensation value to be reflected in both the
movement of the machine and the coordinates.
2 If a programmable mirror image is effective, the tool
length compensation is applied in the specified
direction.
3 No scaling magnification is applied to the tool length
compensation value.
4 No coordinate system rotation is applied to the tool
length compensation value. Tool length
compensation is effective in the direction in which
the offset is applied.
5 The tool length compensation operation is
independent of the cutter compensation offset
operation.
6 Three-dimensional coordinate conversion is applied
to tool length compensation. If tool length
compensation is made effective to multiple axes,
the tool length compensation must be canceled for
one axis at a time.
7 With the WINDOW command, changing parameter
TOS during automatic operation does not cause the
tool length compensation type to be changed.
8 If offset has been performed on two or more axes
with tool length compensation B, a G49 command
causes the offset to be canceled on all axes; H0
causes the offset to be canceled only on the axis
vertical to the specified plane.
9 If the tool length compensation value is changed by
changing the offset number, this simply means that
the value is replaced by a new tool length
compensation value; it does not mean that a new
tool length compensation value is added to the old
tool length compensation.
