2.4 Helical gear compensation
When a helical gear is to be produced, the compensation of the workpiece axis rotation
is needed according to the travel distance on the Z-axis (axial feed axis: parameter No.
7709 setting). Helical gear compensation is performed by adding compensation pulses
calculated from the formula below to the workpiece axis.

where
Compensation angle : Signed absolute value (deg)
Z : Amount of travel on the Z-axis after the specification of G81 (mm or inch)
P : Signed gear helix angle (deg)
T : Number of teeth
Q : Module (mm) or diametral pitch (inch
1−
)
The values of P, T, Q, are to be programmed.
In helical gear compensation, the machine coordinates and absolute coordinates of the
workpiece axis are updated by the amount of helical gear compensation. When P
command and Q command are not specified in G81 block, helical gear compensation is
not performed.
