Selecting/deselecting axis compensations in the NC program (COMP)

Release Note

release_note

This function is available as of CNC Build V2.10.1501.00.

The various axis compensations [FCT-C5] can also be selected and deselected directly in the NC program in addition to the option of using the corresponding axis parameters. Axis-specific axis compensations for several axes in an NC block can be activated or deactivated simultaneously.

Notice

notice

Axis compensations switched off by the COMP command has a global NC program effect, i.e. compensations are not automatically activated at program end. They must be switched back on explicitly using the COMP command in the subsequent NC program.

Syntax:

<axis_name> [ COMP [ [ ON | OFF [ CROSS PLANE LEAD TEMP FRICT ] ] | OFF_ALL ] [ NO_MOVE ] { \ } ]

<axis_name>

Name of the axis

COMP

Identifier to select/deselect axis-specific compensation. Must always be programmed as the first keyword.

ON

Activates programmed compensation(s)

OFF

Deactivates programmed compensation(s)

CROSS

Keyword for cross compensation

PLANE

Keyword for plane compensation

LEAD

Keyword for spindle leadscrew error compensation

TEMP

Keyword for temperature compensation

FRICT

Keyword for friction compensation [as of Build V2.11.2022.05]

CROSSTALK

Keyword for crosstalk compensation [as of Build V3.1.3079.32]

OFF_ALL

Switch off all active compensations. No further compensation keywords may be programmed after the keyword.

NO_MOVE

By default the position offset occurring when axis compensations are switched on/off is driven out before the NC program processing is continued. The keyword NO_MOVE suppresses this motion. The channel is initialised with the changed axis position. The position offset is only deactivated at the next axis motion programmed in the NC program.

\

Separator ("backslash") for clear programming of the command over multiple lines.
