Tool center point control
for 5-axis machining
Ed. Date Design Description
Date Jan.16.’04 Design. Apprv.
- Tool behavior at startup and cancellation
When tool center point control is started (G43.4/G43.5) or canceled (G49),
the tool moves by a tool offset value.
Compensation vector calculation is performed only at the end of a block.
- Current position display during tool center point control
During tool center point control, the position of the control point (rotation
center of the tool rotation axis) is displayed as the machine coordinate.
When parameter WKP (No.19696#5) is 0, whether to use absolute or relative
coordinates can be selected using parameter DET (No.19608#2).
If parameter DET (No.19608#2) is 0, the position of the tool center point on
the programming coordinate system is displayed.
If parameter DET (No.19608#2) is 1, the position of the tool center point in
the workpiece coordinate system is displayed.
- Tool offset
If tool offsets are used based on tool numbers, tool center point control is
carried out using the tool length compensation value corresponding to the
relevant tool number (T code).
If tool life management is used, tool center point control is carried out using
the tool length compensation value corresponding to the tool in use.
