See the following illustration for tool radius compensation:
Programming
G41 X... Y...
; Tool radius compensation left of contour
G42 X... Y...
; Tool radius compensation right of contour
Note
The selection can only be made for linear interpolation (G0, G1).
Program both axes of the plane (e.g. with G17: X, Y). If you only specify one axis, the second axis is automatically
completed with the last programmed value.
See the following illustration for compensation to the right/left of the contour:
Starting the compensation
The tool travels in a straight line directly to the contour and is positioned perpendicular to the path tangent at the starting
point of the contour.
Select the starting point such that a collision-free travel is ensured.
