TOOL COMPENSATION
Tool compensation allows programming the machining contour
based on the dimensions of the part without taking into account the
dimensions of the tool that will be used later on. This way, there is no
need to calculate and redefine the tool path depending on the radius
and length of each tool.
Types of compensation
Tool radius compensation.
When working with tool radius compensation, the tool center follows
the programmed path at a distance equal to the tool radius. Thus
obtaining the right dimensions of the programmed part.
Tool length compensation.
When working with tool length compensation, the CNC compensates
for the length difference between the different programmed tools.
