Cutter Compensation (G40, G41 and G42)
The movement of the tool specified by the program is the path taken by the center of the tool. Because the tool has a certain thickness
(i.e., a certain diameter), it will over-cut by an amount equal to its radius if the coordinates on the drawing are input just as they are.
To cut a shape as specified by the drawing, the tool must be made to move at a place which shifted away by a distance equal to the tool
radius. This is called the “tool-diameter offset.”
Using this function makes it possible to input the values from the drawing as coordinate values (or amounts of movement) with no need
for modification, thus facilitating programming. Also, if cutting is to be performed with a tool that has a different tool diameter, it is
only necessary to change the amount of offset.
The words for cutter compensation are “
G40
,” “
G41
,” and “
G42
.”
G40
: Cancel cutter compensation
G41
: Cutter compensation -- left
G42
: Cutter compensation -- right
Feed Rate
This determines the feed rate for the workpiece and the spindle. The F function is used to make the setting.
The feed rate generally varies according to the cutting parameters (such as the spindle speed, tool diameter, and workpiece material).
The F function is activated at the start of the block in which it is specified.
The feed rate is specified as a real or integer value following the “F.”
F100.0
Feed rate set at 100 mm/min. (when millimeter input is used)
F100000
Feed rate set at 100 mm/min. (when millimeter input is used)
Feed Rate Override
Feed rate override” refers to manually changing the feed rate specified by the program. This is mainly used to adjust the feed rate
during cutting. This function may or may not be supported, depending on the machine. Refer to the "User's Manual 3 Cutting Using
NC-Codes" for information on how to make this setting.
