AutoCompAutomated Tool Wear Compensation Software

SHARE
AutoComp automated tool wear compensation software eliminates the challenges of manual tool offset calculations and operator errors. This Windows-based application integrates seamlessly with almost any electronic gauging device to read and process part measurements, compute the necessary tooling adjustments, and update offsets directly in the CNC control. By automating this process, AutoComp ensures error-free tool offset adjustments, enhancing reliability and productivity. It supports various electronic measurement equipment with the capability to create custom drivers for unique devices. Additionally, it leverages the MTConnect protocol for real-time data sharing with supervisory software, providing valuable insights into production metrics. This comprehensive tool monitoring system is ideal for optimizing tool wear compensation and maintaining precision in machining processes.

  • During setup, the user creates an AutoComp routine consisting of the essential part dimensions and inputs the parameters (tolerances and compensation limits) for each dimension
  • AutoComp reads the measurement file and checks each measurement against the feature limits to calculate the correct amount to offset each tool
  • AutoComp sends this information to the CNC control automatically, with no operator intervention required

Use almost any electronic gauging device to provide dimensional measurements and the AutoComp automated tool wear compensation software will calculate the necessary tooling adjustments.
