In certain instances, dresser/wheel radius compensation creates a
non-programmed move called a generated block. These blocks improve
cycle time and corner-cutting quality.
Dresser/wheel radius compensation generates blocks for type A or B
moves as follows:
Type of Move
Type A
Type B
Entry Move
No block is generated
Block is generated
Dresser/Wheel Path

Exit Move
No block is generated

Important: These blocks are created only if:
G41 is active and you program an inside angle that is less than 90
°
G42 is active and you program an outside angle that is more than 270
°
