Tool compensation memory

The following data must be available in the tool compensation memory of the controller for
each tool edge:
● Tool type
● Cutting edge position
● Tool geometry variables (length, radius)
This data is entered as tool parameters (max. 25). Which parameters are required for a tool
depends on the tool type. Any tool parameters that are not required must be set to "zero"
(corresponds to the default setting of the system).
Note
Values that have been entered once in the compensation memory are included in the
processing at each tool call.
