Circular arc G16 with tangential connection

The tool moves on a circular path, starting tangentially from a
preceding contour element.

Programming

8

Polar coordinates radius R: Distance from the arc end

point to the pole I, J

8

Polar coordinates angle H: Angular position of the arc

end point

Example NC blocks

Helical interpolation

A helix is a combination of a circular movement in a main plane and a
linear movement perpendicular to this plane.

A helix is programmed only in polar coordinates.

Application

„

Large-diameter internal and external threads

„

Lubrication grooves

Calculating the helix

To program a helix, you must enter the total angle through which the
tool is to move on the helix in incremental dimensions, and the total
height of the helix.

For calculating a helix that is to be cut in an upward direction, you need
the following data:

N120 I+40 J+35 *

N130 G01 G42 X+0 Y+35 F250 M3 *

N140 G11 R+25 H+120 *

N150 G16 R+30 H+30 *

N160 G01 Y+0 *

The pole is not the center of the contour arc!
