This document describes how Groove insert positioning is managed, with respect to the IN/ON/OUT setting on the Start/End Limits, while taking into account the tool compensation number (P9/P9R) and the insert geometry.
The IN/ON/OUT setting on the Start/End Limits is represented
in the figure below (the arrow represents the direction of tool motion).
The tool compensation number (P9/P9R)
on the insert geometry is represented in the figure below
The behavior is illustrated in the figures below (there is no offset on the limit elements in these examples).
