Why Compensate for Tool Wear Automatically?
•Automatic tool compensation allows the operator to focus on tasks other than entering offset data into the control. It also eliminates the possibility of entering erroneous data, or transposing data values (i.e., .0051 instead of .0015) In addition, the EZ-Comp makes compensation decisions based upon a running average, as opposed to single part measurements. This provides for a much more stable response to variation by providing a “filtering” effect on the data. The result is that small, “normal” , erratic, and unpredictable variations in the process are ignored, while large and consistent variations (such as tool wear) are compensated.
