Programming example
Table 10- 4 Tool change:
N10 T1
; Tool 1 is activated with the associated D1
N11 G0 X... Z...
; the length offset compensation is overlaid here
N50 T4 D2
; Load tool 4, D2 from T4 is active
…
N70 G0 Z... D1
; D1 for tool 4 active, only cutting edge changed
Contents of an compensation memory
●
Geometrical dimensions: Length, radius
These consist of several components (geometry, wear). The control systems computes
the components to a certain dimension (e.g. overall length 1, total radius). The respective
overall dimension becomes active when the offset memory is activated.
The way in which these values are computed in the axes is determined by the tool type
and the current plane G17, G18, G19.
●
The tool type
The tool type determines which geometry data are required and how they will be
computed (wheel types).
●
Cutting edge position
For dressers, you must also enter the cutting edge position.
