• X CENTER—defines the X center coordinate on an XY plane with origin at the
center of the face.
• Y CENTER—defines the Y center coordinate on an XY plane with origin at the
center of the face.
• RADIUS or DIAMETER—defines the radius or diameter of the circle.
• C POSITION—defines the angle to position the C axis for the first segment
of the contour. This field appears when the Linear Y Motion checkbox is
selected. This field is available with TMX MY and TMX MYS series machines.
• LINEAR Y MOTION—select this checkbox to cause Y-Axis Motion using the X
and X’ axes. When this checkbox is clear, Y-Axis Motion occurs using the X
and C axes. Please refer to Programming Coordinates and Linear Y Motion, on
page 2 - 68 for examples. This field is available with TMX MY and TMX MYS
series machines.
• Z START—defines the location where Plunge Feedrate begins. The feedrate is
set in the Plunge Feed field in the Process tab.
• Z BOTTOM—defines the bottom of the hole and the location where the
Plunge Feedrate ends.
Linear Y-Axis Motion is limited. The amount of Y travel is affected by
the X position and by any X-Axis tool length offset.
