Circle segment
Center in 1st axis
: Coordinate of the circle center point (
1
)
in the major axis of the working plane
Center in 2nd axis
: Coordinate of the circle center point (
2
)
in the minor axis of the working plane
Diameter:
Circle diameter.
Starting angle
: Polar angle of the first machining position.
Reference axis: Major axis of the active machining plane
(e.g. X for tool axis Z). You can enter a positive or negative
value
Stepping angle:
Incremental polar angle between two
machining positions. You can enter a positive or negative
value. Changing the stepping angle automatically changes
the defined stopping angle.
Number of positions
: Total number of machining positions
on the circle
Stopping angle:
Polar angle of the last bore hole. Reference
axis: Major axis of the active machining plane (e.g. X for tool
axis Z). You can enter a positive or negative value. Changing
the stopping angle automatically changes the stepping
angle if one was defined.
