Circles and circular arcs
Here the TNC moves two axes simultaneously in a
circular path relative to the workpiece.
Circle center I, J, K
You can define the circle center for circular move-
ment.
A circle center also serves as reference (pole) for
polar coordinates.
Direction of rotation
When a circular path has no tangential transition to
another contour element, enter the mathematical
direction of rotation:
• Clockwise direction of rotation is mathematically
negative: G02
• Counterclockwise direction of rotation is
mathematically positive: G03
