Auto Comp2010
- 2. AutoCompIs a Microsoft Windows application
- 3. Communicates directly to the CNC control
- 4. Accepts measurement data from any electronic device
- 5. Automatically adjusts tool offsets
- 6. Eliminates the chance of human errorAutoComp in Action2Part is measured1Part is machined3AutoComp determines if compensation is required4 Tool offsets are adjusted
- 7. Input to AutoComp1.) AutoComp is configured to watch specific folders for data2.) Data can come from a wide variety of measuring devices and is generated as a text file3.) Once AutoComp sees the data file , it processes the data and then destroys the file.Dim 1, 0.023Dim 2, -0.193Dim 3, 1.3458Dim 4, 2.007Standard Windows Folder

Measuring DevicesWireless SystemsMicroRidge, Mahr, Federal…CMMsZeiss, Mitutoyo, Brown & Sharp, Sheffield…Digital ToolingMitutoyo, Mahr/Federal, Starrett, B&S…..Gage fixture with LVDTs Edmonds, Marposs, Stotz, Kurt Gage….Laser Micrometer Blum, Zmike, Zygo…….Vision systemsMitutoyo, Hommel, TesaScan, HelioScope……On Machine Probing
- 9. Use AutoComp if……You want to eliminate operator error from manually adjusted tool offsets
- 10. You are gauging parts at the machine or outside the cell with a CMM
- 11. You are running lean manufacturing
- 12. You have a robot loaded machine with automatic gaugingAutoComp will complete the loop. It will process the gauge data and update the tool offsets automatically providing error free tool control
- 13. Key FeaturesEasy indication of dimension statusTracks amount of tool offset and provides alarm indicationDimension data can come from multiple devicesOkuma THINC control and other CNC controls running Windows require no additional PCFanuc controls with Focus1/2 require only an ethernet cable for connectivity
- 14. Dimension Setup is EasyInput dimension nameInput nominal dimension and toleranceRelate this dimension to a gage featureSet tool compensation limitsSet tool offset informationSet tool wear maximum.

- 16. Tool Offset StatusYellow indicates thetool is approaching its life limitRed indicates thetool has exceeded its life limit
- 17. Good/Reject StatusThe user selects any unused CNC variableThe user selects a value for a good part and a value for a rejected partBy interrogating this variable in the part program, the user can take a different action based on a good or rejected part
- 18. Cycle StatusThe user selects any unused CNC variableThe user selects a value for a complete cycle and a value to indicate that there are missing dimensionsBy interrogating this variable in the part program, the user may want to stop the process if all dimensions were not taken
- 19. Tool Wear limit StatusThe user selects any unused CNC variableThe user selects a value indication that tools are OK and a value indicating that a tool has reached a wear limitBy interrogating this variable in the part program, if a tool has reached a wear limit the part program can stop and the operator can be informed.
- 20. Gauge RequiredThe user selects any unused CNC variable. The CNC part program will increment this variable at the end of each partThe user selects the number of parts cut before gauging is requiredA run time display shows number of parts cut and when the required gauging will be neededYellow is a warning that the required gauging is closeRed means the program has stopped until the part is gauged
- 21. Tool Compensation LimitsOnce the running average is calculated, the result is compared to the tool compensation limits (shown in yellow)If this value is greater than the upper limit or less then the lower limit, a tool compensation value is sent to the CNC control
- 22. If the value exceeds either of the TOLERANCE limits no tool compensation is sent (REJECTED PART)Editing during operationThe parameters for each dimension can be edited during operation and the tool wear can be reset
- 23. Part ViewBy using AutoComp’s Part View feature, the operator can easily see a location and status of each measured dimension.
- 24. Tool Compensation & TrendFor each dimension, tolerance limits, tool compensation limits and trend are use to calculate tool compensation.When trend is not used, any dimension that exceeds the compensation limit will cause a tool offset to be sent.If the trend is set (2-9) then the running average of that number of readings is used to determine if tool compensation is required1st2nd3rd4thRunning average of 3
- 25. Historical Data

- 27. LiveViewTMLiveView allows the user to remotely view any machine with AutoCompBy clicking on the picture of any machine a remote view of the active AutoComp screen pops up allowing the user to see the live data that the operator sees.
- 28. BenefitsAutoComp will enhance your manufacturing by :Eliminating operator data entry errorsProviding statistical control of tool offsetsInforming the operator that a tool needs to be changed when it is wornProviding historical data of how much a tool is wearing over time and providing data that can be used to improve the process
