undamentals of path functions
Circles and circular arcs
The TNC moves two axes simultaneously on a circular path relative to
the workpiece. You can define a circular movement by entering the
circle center CC.
When you program a circle, the control assigns it to one of the main
planes. This plane is defined automatically when you set the spindle
axis during a TOOL CALL:
Direction of rotation DR for circular movements
When a circular path has no tangential transition to another contour
element, enter the direction of rotation as follows:
Clockwise direction of rotation: G02/G12
Counterclockwise direction of rotation: G03/G13
Radius compensation
The radius compensation must be in the block in which you move to
the first contour element. You cannot activate radius compensation in
a circle block. Activate it beforehand in a straight-line block (see "Path
contours—Cartesian coordinates", page 173).

You can program circles that do not lie parallel to a main
plane by using the function for tilting the working plane
(see User's Manual for Cycles, Cycle 19, WORKING
PLANE) or Q parameters (see "Principle and overview",
page 210).

Danger of collision!
Before running a part program, always pre-position the
tool to prevent the possibility of damaging it or the
workpiece.
