TLContact command
The TLContact command provides information about the normal to the machining surface at the point of contact of the tool with this surface. This is used to calculate 5D correction. In fact, this information determines in which direction (along which vector) the tool needs to be shifted in space by the amount of correction (the difference between the radius of the theoretical and actual tool).

|
|
OnOff |
CLD[1] |
Determines whether the tool contacts the machined surface in subsequent movements. ON(1) - there is contact information, OFF(0) - there is no contact information. |
|
NX |
CLD[2] |
The X component of the surface normal vector |
|
NY |
CLD[3] |
The Y component of the surface normal vector |
|
NZ |
CLD[4] |
The Z component of the surface normal vector |
This command will be generated in CLData only if the corresponding option "Set tool contact surface normal vectors" is enabled in the settings of the machine schema.
