coordinates
G2/G3 or G12/G13 defined a circular arc in a contour. The direction of
rotation is visible in the help graphic.
Parameters
X, Z: End point (X diameter value)
R:
Radius
Q:
Selection of intersection – default: 0
■
Q=0: Far intersection
■
Q=1: Near intersection
B:
Chamfer/ rounding at end of circular arc
■
B no entry: tangential transition
■
B=0: no tangential transition
■
B>0: Radius of rounding
■
B<0: Width of chamfer
E:
Special feed-rate factor (0 < E
1) – default: 1
(special feed rate = active feed rate * E)
With G2/G3:
I:
Center point incremental (distance from starting point to center
as radius)
K:
Center point incremental (distance from starting point to center)
With G12/G13:
I:
Absolute center (radius)
K:
Absolute center
Example: G12-Geo
