Automated Tool Wear Compensation Software
Manual tool wear offset calculations can introduce errors that compromise part quality, increase scrap rates, and lower production efficiency. Caron Engineering's AutoComp automated tool wear compensation software eliminates this risk by automatically calculating tool offset adjustments and sending real-time feedback directly to the CNC control—ensuring precise, seamless tool wear compensation without any operator intervention.
Error-Free Tool Offset Control
AutoComp is a Windows-based software solution that reads and processes part measurement data from virtually any electronic gauging device. It calculates the necessary tooling adjustments and automatically updates the CNC control offsets—eliminating manual data entry and reducing human error.
With AutoComp, manufacturers can achieve a fully automated, closed-loop system with real-time feedback for consistent, high-quality machining results.

PartView

- The PartView feature displays dimensional data superimposed on a picture of your part
- JPG images can be labeled with each area of the part being measured for deviation
- Operators can more easily identify which area of the part will be compensated
