Overview

Task

With certain processes such as grinding, the length or the radius of the tool must be continuously corrected to compensate for wear.

Wear compensation depends on the path travelled.

Properties

Wear compensation can only be enabled with tool type 2 (grinding tool). If a different tool type is used, error message P-ERR-21391 is output.

Wear compensation can be used for 4 processing types and 3 different modes.

Parametrisation

Wear compensation is activated and deactivated from the NC program. The wear constant can be parameterised both from the NC program and using preset parameters in the tool list P-TOOL-00030. Further parameters in this context are described in the section Parameter.

Programming

The following NC command is provided to program online tool compensation in the NC program. Parametrisation can be programmed in advance or in combination with #OTC ON .

For further details on the above command, see the section Programming (#OTC ON/OFF).
