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.

How AutoComp Software Works

See how AutoComp works with any electronic gauging device to provide automated and error-free tool offset control!

  1. Simplified Setup: Input your part dimensions, tolerances, and compensation limits to create an AutoComp routine tailored to your needs.
  2. Automatic Tool Compensation: AutoComp reads measurement data, compares it to user-defined feature limits, and calculates the necessary tooling adjustments.
  3. Seamless Integration: AutoComp sends real-time offset data directly to the CNC control. 

Gauging Devices

Use almost any electronic gauging device to provide dimensional measurements and the AutoComp automated tool wear compensation software will calculate the necessary tooling adjustments.

  • CMMs
  • Digital Tooling
  • Probes
  • Laser Micrometers
  • Vision Systems

  • 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

Key Features of AutoComp

  • Real-Time Feedback: Instantly detects deviations and adjusts offsets to maintain consistent quality.
  • Closed-Loop Machining: Automatically compensates for tool wear, thermal growth, and other production variables.
  • Error-Free Manufacturing: Eliminates manual data entry, improving part quality and reducing scrap.
  • Historical Reporting: Compiles and reports tool wear measurements over time for process optimization.
  • Tool Change Notifications: Alerts operators when tools need replacement.
  • MTConnect Compliant: Enables real-time data sharing with supervisory software.
