4.1.2 Imaginary tool nose direction
Suppose that it is generally difficult to set the tool nose radius center on the initial position
as Fig.4-3; suppose that it is easily set the tool nose on it as Fig. 4-4; The tool nose radius
can be omitted in programming. Fig. 4-5 and Fig.4-6 correspond separately to the tool
paths of tool nose center programming and imaginary tool nose programming when tool
nose radius is executed or not.
Ⅰ Programming
Tool path is shown in Fig.4-5 when the tool nose center programming is executed.
Fig. 4-5-1 the tool nose center path is the same that of programmed path without radius
compensation
Fig. 4-5-2 precise cutting with tool radius compensation
The tool path is shown in Fig. 4-6 when imaginary tool nose programming is executed
