2.9 TOOL COMPENSATION
This DRO has a tool compensation table for up to 99 tools showing the length and radius
of each tool.
It is also possible to apply or not tool compensation to each axis indicating the tool
length and radius used in the compensation; but no tool compensation cannot be
applied to rotary axes.
When a new tool is selected, the DRO will apply the corresponding compensation to those
axes set to be affected by it.
This feature allows programming the part ignoring the tool dimensions.
In the case of a lathe, the length and radius fields of the tool compensation table will indicate
the two tool dimensions in length.
Follow these steps to apply tool compensation to a linear axis:
*
The DRO must not display any menu windows superimposed on the screen. If this
is not the case, press
.
*
Press the ASG TOOL softkey corresponding to the axis to be defined.
The DRO will display a window where the type of tool compensation and proper
sign must be selected by using the
and
keys.
-
Length compensation. The DRO will compensate this axis with the value
indicated in the LENGTH field of the selected tool.
-
Radius compensation. The DRO will compensate this axis with the value
indicated in the RADIUS field of the selected tool.
-
No compensation. The DRO will apply no tool compensation to this axis.
-
Sign. It only makes sense when applying tool compensation.
