12.4.9 Diameter Designation of Compensation Amount
Function and purpose
With this function, the tool radius compensation amount can be designated by tool diameter. When
the control parameter “#8117 OFS Diam DESIGN” is ON, the compensation amount specified to
the commanded tool No. will be recognized as the diameter compensation amount, and the
amount will be converted to the radius compensation amount when executing the compensation.
Operations when designating the compensation amount with diameter
(1) When the tool radius compensation amount D=10.0 is commanded, tool radius compensation
amount "d" is 5.0 if the parameter "#8117" is ON (set to "1").
(Tool radius compensation amount "r" is 10.0 if the parameter "#8117" is OFF (set to "0").)
