Cutter Comp/Tool Tip Radius

Chapter 23

23-7

Notes

Consider the following example:
As the tool approaches an inside arc with compensation active at a feedrate

of 200 mmpm, the control determines that the feedrate must be reduced to

120 mmpm to maintain a constant cutting feedrate. If this parameter is set

to 50%, the 120 mmpm would be allowed.

If this parameter is set to 80%, the 200 mmpm feedrate of this example

could not be reduced below 160 mmpm. The 120 mmpm feedrate would

not be allowed, and the feedrate would instead be reduced to 160 mmpm

until the arc cut was completed.

The minimum feedrate can be affected by the feedrate override switch

setting. If the feedrate override is set to 80%, the feedrate of the above

example would be 180 mmpm. If the Minimum Feed Reduction

parameter is set to 80%, the control could reduce the feedrate to 80% of

180 mmpm or 144 mmpm.
