Circular arc with tangential connection
The tool moves on a circular path, starting tangentially from a
preceding contour element.
Programming
U U U U Polar coordinates radius R: Distance from the arc end
point to the pole I, J
U U U U 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
n Large-diameter internal and external threads
n 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!
