How tool radius is activated and canceled
The functions associated with the strategy for activating and canceling
establish how tool radius compensation starts and ends.
Programming
The type of strategy may be selected from the program by means of
the following functions:
G138 Direct activation/cancellation of tool compensation.
G139 Indirect activation/cancellation of tool compensation.
G138 Direct activation/cancellation of tool compensation.
When compensation is turned on, the tool moves directly to the
perpendicular of the next path (without contouring the corner).
When compensation is turned off, the tool moves directly to the
programmed end point (without counting the corner).
G139 Indirect activation/cancellation of tool compensation.
When compensation is turned on, the tool moves to the perpendicular
of the next path contouring the corner.
When compensation is turned off, the tool moves to the end point
contouring the corner.
The way the tool goes around the corner depends on the type of
transition selected (G136/G37).
Remarks
Later sections of this chapter offer a graphic description of how tool
radius compensation begins and ends depending on the selected type
of compensation ON/OFF (G138/G139).
