Departing on a circular arc tangentially connecting the
contour and a straight line: DEP LCT
The tool moves on a circular arc from the last contour point P
E
to an auxiliary point P
H
. It then moves on a straight line to the
end point P
N
. The arc is tangentially connected both to the last
contour element and to the line from P
H
to P
N
. Once these lines
are known, the radius R suffices to unambiguously define the tool
path.
Program the last contour element with the end point P
E
and
radius compensation
Initiate the dialog with the
APPR/DEP key and DEP LCT soft key:
Enter the coordinates of the end point P
N
Radius R of the circular arc. Enter R as a positive
value
