1.1 Control Point Compensation of Tool Length Compensation in Tool Axis Direction
Normally, the control point of tool length compensation in tool axis direction is the point
of intersection of the centers of two rotation axes. The machine coordinates also indicate
this control point.
This section explains the compensation performed when the centers of the two rotation
axes do not intersect and also explains how to place the control point at a convenient
position on the machine.
Description
- Compensation of the rotation centers of two rotation axes
Compensation when the rotation centers of two rotation axes do not match is performed.
The length from the tool mounting position to the first rotation axis center is set as the
tool holder offset value in parameter No. 19666.
The vector from the first rotation axis center to the second rotation axis center is set as the
rotation center compensation vector in parameter No. 19661. Since parameter No. 19661
is an axis type parameter, the compensation amount for three axes (X, Y, and Z) can be
set in this parameter.
