Overview

Task

The online tool radius compensation functionality allows users to integrate technology-specific tool compensation data.

The functionality is particularly useful for EDM wire erosion with an inclined wire in 2-path applications.

	The functionality is available as of CNC Build V3.1.3108.

	This function is an additional option requiring a license.

Properties

Online TRC (TRC = Tool Radius Compensation) is only enabled when tool radius compensation is active. The functionality is activated by G41 or G42 and deactivated by G40.

Parameter

The P-CHAN-00550 parameter must be set when a 2-path application is used.

Programming

The functionality is activated and deactivated using the standard tool radius compensation commands (G40/G41/G42). Online tool radius compensation is then defined using the #TRC command.

Links to other documents

For the sake of clarity, links to other documents and parameters are abbreviated, e.g. [PROG] for the Programming Manual or P-AXIS-00001 for an axis parameter.

For technical reasons, these links only function in the Online Help (HTML5, CHM) but not in pdf files since pdfs do not support cross-document linking.
