Acu-Rite CNC 3500i Line-to-Arc Corner Rounding, Arc-to-Arc Corner Rounding, Chamfering, 119

Line-to-Arc Corner Rounding

When the first move contains a CornerRad value, the CNC automatically finds the radius center and the tangent points necessary to calculate the tool path. The resulting tool path follows the solid line.

If the line move is already tangent to the arc move, the CNC ignores corner rounding.

Arc-to-Arc Corner Rounding

When a CornerRad value is programmed into the first move, the CNC automatically finds the radius center and the tangent points necessary to calculate the tool path. The resulting tool path follows the solid line.

Chamfering

Chamfer between two consecutive line moves. A chamfer starts at a specified distance before the endpoint of the first move and ends the same distance from the starting point of the second move. To program a chamfer move, enter a negative value into the CornerRad field of the first move. The entered value is the chamfer distance.

The resulting tool path follows the solid line.
