FIGURE 3.4.3.4 Reversed Axis Movement Direction
(d) 1, J, and/or Kin G45 to G48 blocks
If I, J, and K are specified in the G45 to G48 block, each of these addresses calls up exten-
sion or contraction processing in the same direction as X-, Y-, and Z-axis, respectively.
Therefore, tool radius offset is possible only for a one-quarter (1/4) circle, three-quarter
(3/4) circle, or a full (4/4) circle. Note that a half-circle should be defined by combining
two one-quarter (1/4) circles. In practical operation, the offset should be applied from the
block preceding the circular interpolation block to obtain the arc correctly offset. See Fig.
3.4.3.6 below.
