1. Outline
In most case of bevel cutting, the tool center point (TCP) of the fixed nozzle (Attitude control-B
function) is set on the bottom side of workpiece. When the bevel angle is changing continuously,
the nozzle rotates around this TCP. (Figure 1) Therefore, the nozzle would have a collision with
the surface of workpiece. Usually this collision is avoided by using the Z-axis tracing function.
However, it would lead to trajectory error. (Figure 2)

The bevel cutting compensation function makes to change the arithmetical 2nd arm length depend
on the bevel angle in the procedure of fixed nozzle, and leads no trajectory error. (Figure 3) This is
an optional function.
When the bevel angle is θ, the arithmetical 2nd
arm length is (L+H/cosθ). As the bevel angle θ
changes, (L+H/cosθ) changes.
CNC manages the procedure of fixed nozzle
continuously by using (L+H/cosθ) for 2nd arm
length.
