Circular pattern 
 
•  Full circle 
The circumferential slots are positioned around a full circle. The distance from one 
circumferential slot to the next circumferential slot is always the same and is 
calculated by the control. 
•  Pitch circle 
The circumferential slots are positioned around a pitch circle. The distance from 
one circumferential slot to the next circumferential slot can be defined using angle 
α2.
