Electrode radius compensation
Radius compensation becomes effective as soon as an electrode is
called and is moved in the working plane with RL or RR.
To cancel radius compensation, program a positioning block with R0.
Electrode movements can be programmed in the following ways:
„
Without radius compensation: R0
„ With radius compensation: RL or RR
„ Paraxial movements with R+ or R–
Radius compensation becomes effective as soon as a tool is called
and is moved in the working plane with RL or RR.
Contouring without radius compensation: R0
The electrode center moves to the programmed coordinates.

Countersinking
„ Pre-positioning
