2. Tool radius compensation for tool rotation type machine
General
In a 5-axis machine having two tool rotation axes as shown in the figure below, this
function can perform cutter compensation.
Shown below is a 5-axis machine that has tool rotation axis B on the Y-axis and tool
rotation axis C on the Z-axis.
This machine configuration is used as a sample configuration in the following
explanation unless otherwise noted.
Cutter compensation in tool rotation machines is classified into two types according
to the way of machining: tool side offset and leading edge offset.
