TOOL COMPENSATION
The CNC has a tool offset table, its number of components being defined via the general machine
parameter "NTOFFSET". The following is specified for each tool offset:
• Tool radius in work units in R±5.5 format.
• Tool length in work units in L±5.5 format.
• Wear of tool radius, in work units, in I±5.5 format. The CNC adds this value to the theoretical
radius (R) to calculate the real radius (R+I).
• Wear of tool length, in work units, in K±5.5 format. The CNC adds this value to the theoretical
length (L) to calculate the real length (L+K).
When tool radius compensation is required (G41 or G42), the CNC applies the sum of R+I values
of the selected tool offset as the compensation value.
When tool length compensation is required (G43), the CNC applies the sum of L+K values of the
selected tool offset as the compensation value.
