Programming with Q Parameters
Ellipse
X coordinate calculation: X = a x cos
α
Y coordinate calculation: Y = b x sin
α
a, b
: Semimajor and semiminor axes of the
ellipse
α
: Angle between the leading axis and
the connecting line from P to the
center of the ellipse.
X
0
, Y
0
: Center of the ellipse
Process:
The points of the ellipse are calculated and
connected by many short lines. The more
points that are calculated and the shorter
the lines between them, the smoother the
curve.
The machining direction can be varied by
changing the entries for start and end angles.
The input parameters are listed below in blocks
1–12. Calculations are programmed with the
FORMULA function.
