The following figure shows the tool types that
are permitted in conjunction with the 3D
compensations. For the circumferential milling
(also with limiting surfaces), only cylindrical
types (top row), for face milling, also the
conical types of the bottom row.
Deactivation of all variants
Activation for circumferential milling, compensation direction left
Activation for circumferential milling, compensation direction right
Circles at external corners (all compensation types)
Intersection method at external corners (all compensation types)
2 1/2D COMPENSATION with compensation plane determined
using G17 – G19
2 1/2D COMPENSATION with compensation plane determined
using a frame
Compensation perpendicular to path tangent and tool orientation.
Activating the 3D radius compensation referred to a differential
tool for circumferential milling.
The clearance between the milling tool tip (FS) and the milling tool
construction point (FH) are specified using the command ISD.
No changes in orientation in inserted circular blocks at external
corners. Orientation motion is performed in the linear blocks.
