6.3.5 Canned Cycle and Tool Nose Radius Compensation
When tool nose radius compensation is applied, the tool nose center
path and offset direction are as shown below. At the start point of a
cycle, the offset vector is canceled. Offset start-up is performed for
the movement from the start point of the cycle. The offset vector is
temporarily canceled again at the return to the cycle start point and
offset is applied again according to the next move command. The
offset direction is determined depending of the cutting pattern
regardless of the G41 or G42 mode.
