1 TOOL LENGTH COMPENSATION IN TOOL AXIS DIRECTION
General
When a 5-axis machine that has two axes for rotating the tool is used, tool length
compensation can be performed in a specified tool axis direction on a rotation axis.
When a rotation axis is specified in tool length compensation in tool axis direction mode,
tool length compensation is applied in a specified tool axis direction on the rotation axis
by the compensation value specified in the H code. That is, movement is made along the
three linear axes (Xp, Yp, Zp).
Unless otherwise noted in the explanation of this function, the two rotation axes are
assumed to be the B-axis and C-axis.

Explanation
- Command for tool length compensation in tool axis direction
The tool compensation vector changes as the offset value changes or movement is made
on a rotation axis. When the tool compensation vector changes, movement is made
according to the change value along the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis.
When the command specifies movement on a rotation axis only, the position of the tool
tip is the same both before and after execution of the command. (During rotation axis
movement, however, the tool tip moves.)
