Setting the Manual Thermal Compensation

The Manual Thermal Compensation needs to be configured in Arco Control Panel, precisely, 2 settings shall be done:

  • In the Machine group, click on the Axis Setup button and set to correct expansion coefficient for each axis in the frame Thermal Expansion Coefficients.
  • In the Advanced group, open the Compensation tab and set to Manual the Thermal Compensation combo Box.
  • Save the Setting before Exit and tart Arco.


Setting the Automatic Thermal Compensation

The Automatic Thermal Compensation needs to be configured in Arco Control Panel, precisely, 2 settings shall be done:

  • In the Machine group, click on the Axis Setup button and set to correct expansion coefficient for each axis in the frame Thermal Expansion Coefficients.
  • Define the type on connection in the Connected To
  • Select the appropriate Probes Characterization File (the default file it is defined here.
  • Save the Setting before Exit and tart Arco.

Using the Manual Thermal Compensation

From the Option panel, it is necessary to enable the thermal compensation of the Axis, Part or Both.

  • In case the part compensation is to enabled, then the expansion coefficient of the material to be used shall be define in or the send to the program the correct value.
  • In the menu System of Arco, it necessary to seto the current temperature.

Since it a manual thermal compensation, it is responsibility of the user to set the correct values!

Using the Automatic Thermal Compensation

From the Option panel, it is necessary to enable the thermal compensation of the Axis, Part or Both.

  • In case the part compensation is to enabled, then the expansion coefficient of the material to be used shall be define in or the send to the program the correct value.
  • In of multiple probes for the part, is it necessary to set which probe is to be used, or in case of the need of an average value, both probes.
  • The value used for the thermal compensation are taken directly from the hardware and shown in the DRO.
