Today I tried to use automatic tool nose radius compensation (G41/G42) on a Puma 300 M lathe with Fanuc 32i control. A simple test program (Face + OD turning) by an OD turning tool like:
(Rn 1.2, tip 3, in Offset/Geometry table)
T0101 S300 M04
G42 G0 X-3 Z3
G1 Z0 F0.1
X10
X15 Z-5
Z-20
G40 X20 Z10
M30
I tried to trace coordinates during running of the program. No difference for displayed coordinates between ATNRC or NOT ATNRC. I'm not speaking about turned part, just displayed coordinates. Is it normal? No way to watch actual compensated coordinates?
