Block N20 selects the ZX plane (G18) and positions the tool at the
starting point (30,90).
Block N21 turns RTCP on.
Block N22 contains a movement to point (100,20) and a tool
orientation from 0º to -60º. The CNC interpolates the X, Z and B axes
in such a way that the tool is being oriented along the movement.
Block N23 makes a circular interpolation to point (170,90) maintaining
the same tool orientation along the whole path.
Block N24 contains a movement to point (170,120) and a tool
orientation from -60º to 0º. The CNC interpolates the X, Z and B axes
in such a way that the tool is being oriented along the movement.
Block N25 turns RTCP off.
