*.3DTC compensation table

Application

In a *.3DTC compensation table, the control saves the radius deviation of ball-nose cutters from the nominal value at a defined inclination angle. For workpiece touch probes, the control saves the deflection behavior of the touch probe at a defined probing angle.

The control takes into account the saved data during the execution of NC programs and during probing.

Requirements

  • Advanced Functions Set 2 (software option 9)
  • 3D-ToolComp (software option 92)

Description of function

The *.3DTC compensation tables must be saved in the TNC:\system\3D-ToolComp folder. In the DR2TABLE tool management column, you can then assign the tables to a tool.

You create a separate table for each tool.

A compensation table provides the following parameters:

Parameter

Meaning

NR

Sequential row number in the compensation table

The control evaluates a maximum of 100 rows in the compensation value table.

Input: 0...9999999

ANGLE

Inclination angle of tools or probing angle of workpiece touch probes

Input: –99999.999999...+99999.999999

DR2

Radius deviation from the nominal value or deflection of the touch probe

Input: –99999.999999...+99999.999999
