SECTION FOUR - PREPARATORY FUNCTIONS (G CODES)
In the above cases, the tool will back up as it tries to place itself tangent to the walls of the slots
or v.
This case will give a “compensated line/arc do not intersect” error.
Auto cutter compensation (G45, G46, G47)
The automatic cutter compensation commands, G45 (auto left), G46 (auto right), and G47 (auto
off), work primarily like the normal cutter compensation commands using the previous, current,
and next programmed points to calculate the current compensated point. They only differ in the
way the first and final programmed points are compensated. The control automatically calculates
the previous programmed point for the first compensated point and the next programmed point
for the final compensated point. These points are calculated so the compensated path will begin
and end at points the cutter radius away from the first and last programmed point on either the
left (G45) or the right (G46) side of the programmed path.
