To do smooth machining, it should be controlled to become the feedrate which actual cutting
feedrate is specified. With this function, when the offset is the inside, it calculates a override
value corresponding to the curvature of the involute curve which changes during the involute
interpolation. And it is controlled to become the actual feedrate at the cutting point is always
specified.
An override value is calculated as follows.
OVRa =
Rcp
Rcp + Rofs
100
Rcp : The curvature radius in the tool center of the involute curve which passes
a tool center
Rofs : The tool radius
2.8.2 Near basic circle override
If the cutting is executed with the feedrate as specified by program, the cutting surface is not
smooth because the cutter has a lot of load near the basic circle. With this function, the
movement of the tool is decelerated automatically at the point of big curvature change of the
involute curve near the basic circle according to the parameter setting. It reduces the load of
the cutter by this and the smooth cutting surface can be gotten.
When the curvature radius of the cutting point becomes the size of the range (Rlmt1)-(Rlmt5)
which are specified by parameter, the following override is effective.
