Figure 4-29 Programming the E-F linear path
4.8.3.8 Programming the F-A return travel
The gantry grabber should return to the initial position taking a circular path. The start point
of the circular path is (2000, 0), the end point is (0, 0).
There are several ways of defining the circular path. For this example, the circular path
should be defined using an intermediate point and the end point. The point (1000, 1000) is
chosen as intermediate point.
