Circles and circular arcs

The TNC moves two machines axes simultaneous-
ly in a circular path relative to the workpiece. This
is also possible in secondary axes U, V, and W.

Circle Center CC

You can define a circle by entering its center CC.

A circle center also serves as reference (pole) for
polar coordinates.

Direction of Rotation DR

When there is no tangential transition to another
contour element, enter the mathematical direction
of rotation DR:

• A clockwise direction of rotation is mathemati-

cally negative: DR-

• A counterclockwise direction of rotation is

mathematically positive: DR+
