10.7 Keep tool radius compensation constant (CUTCONON, CUTCONOF)
Function
The "Keep tool radius compensation constant" function is used to suppress tool radius
compensation for a number of blocks, whereby a difference between the programmed and
the actual tool center path traveled set up by tool radius compensation in the previous blocks
is retained as the compensation. It can be an advantage to use this method when several
traversing blocks are required during line milling in the reversal points, but the contours
produced by the tool radius compensation (follow strategies) are not wanted. It can be used
independently of the type of tool radius compensation (2
circumferential milling).
