Cutter compensation

 

The cutter compensation allows to output or not the G41/G42 function in the ISO code.

This function allows the machine to shift the tool path according to the value of the current radius of the tool.

This cutter compensation is done perpendicular to the tool path with this radius.

With G41 the tool is shifted on the left of the tool path and with G42 on the right

Sample:

Use cutter compensation with the original cutter compensation method.

 

No cutter compensation

tool path defined by TopSolid'Cam

tool path realized on the machine

With cutter compensation

tool path defined by TopSolid'Cam

tool path realized on the machine
