[r,theta machine tool kinematics]

Hi Curt

 

you are sure about this, i have tool diameter 66mm and 12mm is the insert diameter.

 

thank you

3D cutter radius compensation, as with 2D cutter radius compensation, must be programmed in XYZ Cartesian coordinates. If your mechanism does not have a 1-to-1 match of actuators to tool-tip coordinates, then you must use kinematic conversions.

 

You list a 33mm overall tool radius (66mm diameter) and a 12mm "corner radius". This does not correspond at all well with the drawings of your tool head. The "corner radius" looks much smaller with respect to the overall tool radius.

Hi Curt

 

I have the same problem, i want to use 3d compensation. Can i use this with polar machine X C Z, or i have to use XYZ and kinematics ?.

 

I also do not know how to create a 3d tool model in disk format.

66mm diameter and 12 of corner Radius.

 

thank you

The ErrorStatus value you report shows that you have an illegal "leadout" move (or don't have one at all) to end your cutter radius compensation sequence. Please contact our tech support group directly to learn how to do this properly.
