- 234 -
- Tool compensation memory
As the compensation amount used by the functions listed below, only
the value set in Z on the tool compensation memory screen is used,
Values such as values set for the X, R, and Y-axis offsets (optional
function) are ignored.
G43/G44: Tool length compensation
G43.1: Tool length compensation in tool axis direction
G43.4: Tool center point control type 1
G43.5: Tool center point control type 2
As the compensation amount used in the following function, the
values set for the X, Z, and Y-axis offsets (optional function) on the
tool compensation memory screen are used:
G43.7: Tool offset
Limitation
- Switching between tool offset mode and another compensation mode
In the tool offset (G43.7) mode, a command such as a tool length
compensation command (G43/G44, G43.1, G43.4, or G43.5) cannot
be specified. Similarly, in a mode such as the tool length
compensation mode (G43/G44, G43.1, G43.4, or G43.5), tool offset
(G43.7) cannot be specified.
Specifying such a command results in the alarm PS368.
To switch between compensation types, specify G49 to cancel the
current compensation mode before setting another compensation
mode.
- Multiple repetitive canned cycle
When a multiple repetitive canned cycle is executed with bit 3 (TCT)
of parameter No. 5040 set to 1, note the following:
CAUTION
1 When a G71 to G76 command is specified in the Series 15
program format, a value such as the depth of cut is specified
with a D code. In this case, a D command specified after G71
to G76 is assumed to be the depth of cut. For example,
suppose that the command shown below is specified. In this
case, the D command <1> is assumed to be the tool
compensation number, and the D command <2> is assumed to
be the depth of cut.
Example:
D10
G71 P_Q_ U_ W_ D7000 F_ S_;
<1> <2>
2 In the operation of G71 to G73, a G code such as G43 and a D
command specified in the finish figure blocks (the portion
enclosed by the sequence numbers specified with P_ and Q_)
are ignored, and the compensation amount set when the G71
to G73 block is specified becomes valid.
