M720VW
M system ―
L system ―
This function is to compensate the tool radius of the 5-axis machine with two rotary axes, in accordance with
the change of the workpiece direction and inclination of the tool due to the movement of the rotary axis. The
3-dimensional tool radius compensation was realized by searching the tool path on the workpiece by the
program command and calculating the compensation vector on the plane (compensation plane) which is
vertical to the path in the tool direction
This function is available only for 5-axis machine and requires an option.
