INTELLIGENT ACTUATOR
Appendix
Appendix
8. Circular/Arc Operation
Description
Causes the actuator to move along a two-dimensional circle or arc.
How to Use
To specify a circle, specify three passing points. To specify an arc, specify three points as the starting
point, passing point and ending point.
Example of Use 1
Circle
Example of Use 2
Arc
Reference
Circle and arc commands can be used to specify three-dimensional operations (3-axis actuator
system), as well as two-dimensional operations (2-axis actuator system).
CIRS --- Three-dimensional circular movement
ARCS --- Three-dimensional arc movement
x After the actuator has moved to P1, specify “ARC2 2 3.”
x To move the actuator counterclockwise, specify “CIR2 3 2.”
x After the actuator has moved to P1, specify “CIR2 2 3.”
x Specifying “CIR2 2 3” based on the positions shown to the left will
cause the actuator to move along the circle clockwise.
