4-3-7 Improvement of the interpolation control path
(4) Tool end compensation
The tool end compensation function compensates the shape of the tool end during high-speed and
high-speed acceleration/deceleration. The spring effect from the tool (spindle) end to the motor
(scale) end is compensated. If the machine has a large spring effect, the shape may be fine during
low-speed operation. However, at high speeds (specially when using a small radius), the section
from the tool (shaft) end to the outer sides of the motor (scale) end could swell, and cause the
shape to become elliptical during measurement of the roundness. The tool end compensation
function compensates the motor end position according to the acceleration size, so the tool end
position is always controlled to the commanded position.

4. Servo Adjustment
During high acceleration,
the end section swells
outward due to the spring
effect.

Low speed:
Example:

1. Always evaluate the roundness accuracy at the tool end.
2. Adjust the parameter after adjusting the roundness at the motor end.

The inner side is driven by the amount
that the end section swells due to the
