    Tool compensation

    Hello!
    I can't find the best thread for my topic, so I open a new one.
    I program a motion controller, it can interpolate 2 axis (X,Y). I can insert an edges sequence. Every edges can be a segment or an arc (clockwise or not). The program is not a g-code, but the mean is the same: a sequence of moving instructions. So far is all ok. Now I want move the tool on the XY plane to cut some materials. But I want take care of the tool dimension (diameter).
    I want insert in my program the management of G41 and G42 instructions because the motion controller has not those instructions.
    Where can I find some documentation to solve this problem.

    Thank you

    bg_izio

    Dear bg_izio,

    Are you asking generally about motion cards or do you have a copy of CamSoft?

    Camsoft,

    I have not a copy of CamSoft. My motion controller is programmable with a structured language. It is not a CN so it has not any g-code instructions.

    Dear bg_izio,

    We understand.

    However, the solution would not be related to CamSoft and the answers wouldn't apply.

    We suggest you post under:
