Keep Tool Radius Compensation Constant (Cutconon, Cutconof) - Siemens Sinumerik 840D sl Programming Manual

If a frame containing a rotation is programmed, the compensation plane is also rotated with
CUT2DF. The tool radius compensation is calculated in the rotated machining plane.
Note
The tool length compensation continues to be active relative to the non-rotated working plane.
Definition of contour tools, CUT2D, CUT2DF
A contour tool is defined by the number of cutting edges (on the basis of D nos) associated
with a T no. The first cutting edge of a contour tool is the cutting edge that is selected when
the tool is activated. If, for example, D5 is activated on T3 D5, then it is this cutting edge and
the subsequent cutting edges that define the contour tool either partially or as a whole. The
previous cutting edges will be ignored.

Keep tool radius compensation constant (CUTCONON, CUTCONOF)

The "Keep tool radius compensation constant" function is used to suppress tool radius
compensation for a number of blocks, whereby a difference between the programmed and the
actual tool center path traveled set up by tool radius compensation in the previous blocks is
retained as the compensation. It can be an advantage to use this method when several
traversing blocks are required during line milling in the reversal points, but the contours
produced by the tool radius compensation (follow strategies) are not wanted. It can be used
independently of the type of tool radius compensation (2
circumferential milling).
