14. TOOL COMPENSATION FUNCTION
NC FUNCTION
157
The tool geometry compensation function compensates the tool figure or
tool mounting position. The tool wear compensation function
compensates the wear of a tool tip. These compensation amounts (offset
values) can be set separately. There are two types of geometry
compensation: So–called geometry compensation and the second
geometry compensation that allows the user to specify whether to use the
direction directed by the PMC. The second geometry compensation is
used to compensate for the difference in tool mounting position or
selected position. If distinction between them is not necessary, the total
value of them is set as a tool position offset value.
