VISUALMILL - A2100 CINCI Cutter Compensation

jpf44 · Apr 11, 2016

I cannot seem to get cutter comp to work in Visualmill with the A2100 post - anybody know what I'm missing. G41, G42, G40 entered in post as follows:

LEFT
[SEQ_PRECHAR][SEQNUM]G41

RIGHT
[SEQ_PRECHAR][SEQNUM]G42

OFF
[SEQ_PRECHAR][SEQNUM]G40

Proper lead-in is entered in the cut parameters (1" linear move for 1/4" end mill for instance) radius lead-in is sufficiently large Auto/on control/on selected. All that ever outputs is G40 comp never turns on - am I missing another variable?

Thanks

I am not sure about what you are asking. G40 is not a "turn on" command, it is a turn off command. Is your tool diameter typed in on the tool page?
Maybe you could put a sample program in this post. Then I could study it.
