Input defining which side of the contour the cutter travels in the programmed
direction:
Radius compensation to right of contour
Radius compensation to left of contour
Radius compensation off
Radius compensation
The previously programmed setting for radius compensation is used.
8.7.8 Programming a circle with known center point
The tool travels along a circular path from its actual position to the programmed circle end
point. You must know the position of the circle center point. The control calculates the radius
of the circle/arc on the basis of your interpolation parameter settings.
The circle can only be traversed at machining feedrate. You must program a tool before the
circle can be traversed.
Procedure
1. The ShopMill program to be edited has been created and you are in
