Detailed Description
2.4 Tool: Tool radius compensation 2D (TRC)
Tool Compensation (W1)
2-44 Function Manual, 08/2005 Edition, 6FC5397-0BP10-0BA0
Explanation:
In this example, a full circle with a radius of 70 mm is machined in the X/Y plane.
Since the tool has a radius of 10 mm, the resulting tool-center-point path describes a circle
with a radius of 60 mm. The start/end points are at X0 Y0 Z60, with the result that a
movement takes place in the Z direction at the same time as the approach/retraction
movement in the compensation plane.
