Dresser/Wheel Radius Compensation
Chapter 15
15-6
We describe these 3 compensation schemes below:
Dresser/wheel Radius
Compensation Scheme
Length Offsets Coordinate System
Offset (G54-G59.3)
Dresser/wheel Radius
Compensation
Dresser Radius Shifted on Z and X axis to wheel
control point Shifted to point on
dresser tip On radius of diamond
dresser
Corner Radius Shifted on Z and X axis to wheel
control point Shifted to point on part
being machined On radius of wheel corner
where Z and X length
offset is located
Entire Wheel Radius Shifted on Z to control point of wheel,
Y offset is taken into consideration
with dresser/wheel radius
compensation Shifted to point on part
being machined On entire radius of wheel
