Estimating the term…
Multi-Axes Tool Compensation expands the tool compensation methods available to the CNC machine operator from the 2D world to 3D and 5 axis directly inside the CNC Controller without involving the CNC programmer to re-define tool locations and offsets defined in the G code program. The CNC machine operator can insert and override any of the cutting methods or scenarios originally pre-defined in the G code program to add 3D and 5-axis tool offsets and tool shape characteristics. These algorithms also provide for automatic tool gouge avoidance protection. Tools are also re-located to safe positions when necessary. Multi-Axes Tool Compensation technology provides for 3D and 5-axis tool definitions and tools offsets accessible to the CNC machine operator.
Multi-Axes Tool Compensation technology handles all tool compensation internal to the CNC controller.
Multi-Axes Tool Compensation automatically does tool gouge avoidance protection internal to the CNC controller.
Multi-Axes Tool Compensation automatically contains algorithms to lift the tool to safe positions when necessary.
Multi-Axes Tool Compensation does not depend on the CNC programmer to re-define tool position coordinates when the tool characteristics change.
Multi-Axes Tool Compensation allows CNC machine operators to override the pre-defined tool characteristics.
Multi-Axes Tool Compensation has been in development and field use since 1991 by my customers.
I, Gary John Corey, solely invented Multi-Axes Tool Compensation technology based on research I conducted as a CNC machinist.
Multi-Axes Tool Compensation is unique because it expands the tool compensation methods available to the CNC machine operator from 2D to 3D and 5 axis directly on the CNC Controller without involving the CNC programmer to re-define tool locations and offsets defined in the G code program.
