TRAK LPM Programming, Safety, & Operating Manual
Rectangle or Irregular (POCKET or PROFILE): X1 and Y1 corner, Z RAPID and Z
END programmed
Helix: The X END, Y END, Z RAPID, and Z END programmed.
Sub: The reference position as defined for the specific events above for the event prior to
the first event that was repeated.
A.G.E. Profile: The appropriate reference position as defined for the specific events
above for the last event that is programmed.
For example, if an ARC event followed a MILL event, a 2.0 inch incremental X BEG
would mean that in the X direction the beginning of the ARC event is 2.0 inches from the
end of the MILL event.
5.7 Tool Diameter Compensation
Tool diameter compensation allows the machined edges shown directly on the print to be
programmed instead of the center of the tool. The ProtoTRAK PMX CNC then
automatically compensates for the programmed geometry so that the desired results are
obtained.
Tool cutter compensation is always specified as the tool either right or left of the
workpiece while looking in the direction of the tool motion.
Examples of tool right.
