- Selecting offset space
The three-dimensional space where three-dimensional
cutter compensation is to be executed is determined by
the axis addresses specified in the startup block
containing the G41 command. If Xp, Yp, or Zp is
omitted, the corresponding axis, X-, Y-, or Z-axis (the
basic three axis), is assumed.
(Example)
When the U-axis is parallel to the X-axis, the V-axis is
parallel to the Y-axis, and the W-axis is parallel to the Z-
axis
G41 X_I_J_K_D_; XYZ space
G41 U_V_Z_I_J_K_D_; UVZ space
G41 W_I_J_K_D_; XYW space
