14. COMPENSATION FUNCTION
237
When the radius of a corner is smaller than the cutter radius, because the
inner offsetting of the cutter will result in overcuttings, an alarm is
displayed and the CNC stops at the start of the block. In single block
operation, the overcutting is generated because the tool is stopped after
the block execution.

An alarm is generated and
the operation stops here in
single block operation
If the CNC does not
stop, overcutting occurs
Since the cutter compensation forces the path of the center of the tool to
move in the reverse of the programmed direction, overcutting will result.
In this case an alarm is displayed and the CNC stops at the start of the
block.
