5.4 Path Contours – Cartesian Coordinates

Straight line

To program a straight line, you enter:

• The coordinates of the end point

• If necessary:

Radius compensation, feed rate, miscellaneous function

The tool moves in a straight line from its starting position

to the end

point

. The starting position was reached in the previous block.

To program a straight line:

COORDINATES?

Identify coordinates as relative values.

Press the orange axis-selection key, for example X.

Enter the coordinate of the end point, for example 50 mm.

If a coordinate is negative, press the +/- key.

Enter all further coordinates of the end point.

After entering all coordinates, close the dialog with the ENT key.
