HEIDENHAIN CNC PILOT 4290

243

Line segment in end-face contour

Use the menu symbol to select the direction of the line and assign it a
dimension.

Parameters
XK,YK: End point in Cartesian coordinates

XKi,YKi: Distance from starting point to end point.

P,

α:

End point in polar coordinates (reference angle

α: positive XK

axis)

W:

Angle of the line (for reference see illustration)

WV:

Angle to the preceding element

WN:

Angle to the successor element

WV, WN:

The angle leads from the preceding/succeeding element

counterclockwise to the new element.

Arc as preceding/succeeding element: Angle to tangent.

L:

Length of line

Tangential/nontangential: Specify the transition to the
next contour element

End point must not be the starting point
(no full circle).

6.6 C-Axis Contours

Continued

Circular arc in end-face contours

Use the menu symbol to select the direction of arc rotation and give
the arc a dimension.

Parameters ”end point of arc”
XK,YK: End point in Cartesian coordinates

XKi,YKi: Distance from starting point to end point

P,

α:

End point in polar coordinates (reference angle a: positive XK
axis)

Pi,

αi:

End point polar, incremental. Pi: Linear distance from starting
to end point; Reference of ai: Angle between an imaginary
line intersecting the starting point and parallel to the XK axis,
and another line from the starting point to the end point.

Parameters ”center of arc”
I, J:

Center in Cartesian coordinates

Ii, Ji:

Difference from starting point to center point in XK, YK
direction

β, PM: Center in polar coordinates (reference angle b: positive XK

axis)

βi, PMi: Center polar, incremental (PMi: linear distance from starting

point to center; reference of

βi: angle between imaginary line

intersecting the starting point and parallel to the XK-axis, and
another line from the starting point to the center)
