Programming example
N10 G17 ; X/Y plane
N20 G111 X17 Y36 ; Pole coordinates in the current workpiece
coordinate system
...
N80 G112 AP=45 RP=27.8 ; New pole, relative to the last pole as a polar
coordinate
N90 ... AP=12.5 RP=47.679 ; Polar coordinate
N100 ... AP=26.3 RP=7.344 Z4 ; Polar coordinate and Z axis (= cylinder
coordinate)
Traversing with polar coordinates
The positions programmed using polar coordinates can also be traversed as positions
specified with Cartesian coordinates as follows:
● G0 - linear interpolation with rapid traverse
● G1 - linear interpolation with feedrate
● G2 - circular interpolation CW
● G3 - circular interpolation CCW
(see also Section "Axis movements").
10.2.6 Programmable work offset: TRANS, ATRANS
Functionality
The programmable work offset can be used:
● for recurring shapes/arrangements in various positions on the workpiece
● when selecting a new reference point for the dimensioning
● as a stock allowance when roughing
This results in the current workpiece coordinate system. The rewritten dimensions use this
as a reference.
The offset is possible in all axes.
