Tool Compensator works while in motion.

Tool Compensator works while in motion.

Servo-controlled tool compensator system uses servo-motors with inherent high torque ratings instead of stepper motors so it can compensate tools while machine is working. Servo motor is able to directly hold tool point in position while tool is in contact with, and machining, the workpiece allowing machining center to maintain feed rates for multiple tools. This also eliminates tool marks on...
