Tool radius compensation

The NC block for programming a tool movement contains:

n

G41

or G42 for radius compensation,

n

G43

or G44, for radius compensation with axis-parallel traverse,

n

G40

, if there is no radius compensation.

Radius compensation becomes effective as soon as a tool is called
and is moved in the working plane with G41 or G42.

For tool radius compensation, the TNC takes the delta values from
both the T block and the tool table into account.

Compensation value = R + DR

T

+ DR

TAB

, where

Contouring without radius compensation: R0

The tool center moves in the working plane along the programmed
path or to coordinates.

Applications: Drilling and boring, pre-positioning.

The TNC automatically cancels radius compensation if you:

n

program a positioning block with G40,

n

program a program call with %...,

n

select a new program with PGM MGT.

R

is the tool radius R from the G99 block or tool table

DR

T

is the oversize for radius DR in the T block (not taken into
account by the position display)

TAB

is the oversize for radius DR in the tool table
