7.1 Explaining Basic Cycles

Arc Move - Center and EndPoint:

Specify the arc movement using the actual coordinates of the desired end point and the coordinates of the arc center point.

Field

Code

Description

Direction

E

Specifies a clockwise (CW) or

 

 

counterclockwise (CCW) arc direction.

 

 

(Required)

 

 

 

Xcenter

I

Absolute position of, or incremental

 

 

distance to, the desired X-Axis arc center

 

 

point. (Required)

 

 

 

Ycenter

J

Absolute position of, or incremental

 

 

distance to, the desired Y-Axis arc center

 

 

point. (Required)

XX Absolute position of, or incremental distance to, the desired X-Axis destination.

YY Absolute position of, or incremental distance to, the desired Y-Axis destination.

ZZ Absolute position of, or incremental distance to, the desired Z-Axis destination.

Feed

F

Feedrate at which to conduct the

 

 

machining movement.

 

 

 

CornerRad

A

Positive arc radius for corner rounding,

 

 

negative X/Y distance for chamfering.
