General To operate a CNC machine tool, various data must be set on the CRT/MDI
panel. The operator can monitor the state of operation with data displayed
during operation.
This chapter describes how to display and set data for each function.
This chapter describes the procedure, assuming that the soft keys are used
to select a desired chapter. If the soft keys are not supported, press the key
having the equivalent function two or more times to select the desired

11.5.2 If pitch error compensation data is specified, pitch errors of each axis can
Displaying and Setting be compensated per axis.
Pitch error compensation data is set for each compensation point at the
Pitch Error intervals specified for each axis. The origin of compensation is the
Compensation Data reference position to which the tool is returned.
The pitch error compensation data is set according to the characteristics
of the machine. The content of this data varies according to the machine
model. If it is changed, the machine accuracy is reduced.
In principle, the end user must not alter this data.
Pitch error compensation data can be set with external devices such as the
Handy File (see Chapter 9). Compensation data can also be written
directly with the MDI panel.
The following parameters must be set for pitch error compensation. Set
the pitch error compensation value by these parameters.
In the following example, 33 is set for the pitch error compensation point
at the reference position.

D Compensation value Compensation values can be set within the range from –7 x compensation
range magnification (output unit) to +7 x compensation magnification
(detection unit). The compensation magnification can be set 1, 2, 4, 8 in
parameter No. 011#0, #1. The units of the compensation value can be
changed to the detection units if bit 7 of parameter 035 is specified
accordingly.
D Intervals of The pitch error compensation points are arranged with equally spaced.
compensation points Set the space between two adjacent positions for each axis to the
parameter (No. 712 to 715).
Valid data range is 0 to 99999999.
The minimum interval between pitch error compensation points is limited
and obtained from the following equation:
Minimum interval of pitch error compensation points = maximum
feedrate (rapid traverse rate) / 7500
Unit: mm, inches, deg, and mm/min, inches/min, deg/min
D Pitch error For the rotating axis, the interval between the pitch error compensation
compensation of the points shall be set to one per integer of the amount of movement (normally
rotary axis 360°) per rotation. The sum of all pitch error compensation amounts per
rotation must be made to 0.
D Conditions where pitch Note that the pitch error is not compensated in the following cases:
error compensation is D When the machine is not returned to the reference position after
not performed turning on the power. If an absolute–position detector is provided and
if the reference position has been determined, pitch error
compensation is carried out.
D If the interval between the pitch error compensation points is 0.

D For linear axis (X axis) ⋅ Machine stroke: –400 mm to +800 mm
⋅ Interval between the pitch error compensation points: 50 mm
⋅ No. of the compensation point of the reference position: 40
If the above is specified, the No. of the farthest compensation point in the
negative direction is as follows:
No. of the compensation point of the reference position – (Machine stroke
on the negative side/Interval between the compensation points) + 1
= 40 – 400/50 + 1= 33
No. of the farthest compensation point in the positive direction is as
follows:
No. of the compensation point of the reference position + (Machine stroke
on the positive side/Interval between the compensation points)
= 40 + 800/50= 56
The correspondence between the machine coordinate and the
compensation point No. is as follows:
