Circular path CTP with tangential connection
The tool moves on a circular path, starting tangentially (at 2 ) from a
preceding contour element ( 1 to 2 ).
Input:
• Polar coordinate angle PA of the arc end point
E
• Polar coordinate radius PR of the arc end point E

tangential connection
• The transition points must be defined exactly.
• The pole is not the center of the contour arc.
COORDINATES ?
Select polar coordinates.
POLAR COORDINATES-RADIUS PR ?
Enter the distance from the pole to the arc end point, for example
PR = 10 mm.
POLAR COORDINATES-ANGLE PA ?
Enter the angle from the reference axis to PR, for example PA = 80°.
If necessary, enter:
Radius compensation R
Feed rate F
Miscellaneous function M
