Hello all,
Quick question regarding how my Doosan mill is reacting when I make a move to turn on G41 cutter comp.
I'm simply staging the cutting 2x cutter diameter from the first point in X, and then making a single axis move to the first point to turn the compensation on.
Example: (X0. Y0. is the part center)
G43 H20 Z.1
G0 X2. Y0.
G1 Z-.5 F20.
G41 D20 X1. F15.
As you can see I'm only making a move in the X axis to turn on the comp, but the machine physically compensates the Y axis as well so my Y tangent point is below (negative) from Y0. Why does this happen when I don't specify a Y move in the G41 line? It's seems that the same code on my HAAS machines will only move the X axis while turning on the comp unless a Y move is specified. I've also tried staging the Y axis above and below the part center line by the cutter diameter, and I always seem to end up below Y0. once the G41 line is complete. Any help is greatly appreciated!
