Tool diameter compensation of Robot Machining Project-shiyen905-06-15-2023
I'm working on the robot milling by using robot machining project. My tool diameter is about 6mm and the path generated is based on TCP, hence the machining is result is bigger than the geometry from CAD file. Is there anyway that I can do the tool compensation with robot machining project?

Are you importing your toolpath from a CAM software? If so, the path may already account for tool compensation.
Alternatively, if you select or create a curve in RoboDK you can apply and offset towards the side of the curve by selecting编辑path settings.

Hi Albert,
The path is generated by create a curve in RoboDK. I could not find编辑path settingsin machining project settings. Is itPath to Tool Offset?
I want the robot machining the hole as shown in the picture. If I usePath to Tool Offsetthe entire path will shift in X/Y/Z direction, which is not what I want.

You won't be able to see Edit path settings if you loaded an NC file (such as APT code or G-code file). You should use a curve follow project instead.
What CAM software are you using? Usually, the tool diameter compensation is taken care of by CAM software.
Can you attach the picture you are referring to?

Hi Albert,
I'm using curve follow project to generate the path. I have uploaded the screenshot which编辑Path Settingsis not showing in the settings.

This feature was added about one year ago. You should update RoboDK to the latest version to see the编辑path settingsoption.

Thanks for the information!
