Circular path CP around pole CC
The polar coordinate radius
PR is also the radius of the arc. PR is
defined by the distance from the starting point to the pole
CC. The
last programmed tool position will be the starting point of the arc.
Polar-coordinates angle PA: Angular position of
the arc end point between –99 999.9999° and
+99 999.9999°
Direction of rotation DR
Example NC blocks
18 CC X+25 Y+25
19 LP PR+20 PA+0 RR F250 M3
20 CP PA+180 DR+
For incremental coordinates, enter the same sign for
DR and PA.
Circle CTP with tangential connection
The tool moves on a circular path, starting tangentially from a
preceding contour element.
Polar coordinate radius PR: Enter the distance
from are end point to the pole
CC
Polar coordinates angle PA: Angular position of
the arc end point
The pole is not the center of the contour arc!
