Fig. 6.10 (a) Geometric compensation and wear compensation
Tool compensation values can be entered into CNC memory from the
MDI panel (see section III-11.1.1) or from a program.
A tool compensation value is selected from the CNC memory when
the corresponding code is specified after address H or D in a program.
The value is used for tool length compensation, cutter compensation,
or the tool offset.
Three types of tool compensation memories are available according to
the compensation value configuration: tool compensation memory A,
B, and C. One of the types can be selected.
Explanation
- Tool compensation memory A
In tool compensation memory A, memory for geometry compensation
and memory for wear compensation are not distinguished from each
other. So, the sum of geometry compensation and wear
compensation values is to be set in the compensation memory.
Moreover, no distinction is made between memory for cutter
compensation (for D code) and memory for tool length compensation
(for H code).
