Further information
Full circles (traversing angle 360°) cannot be programmed with AR=, but must be
programmed using the circle end point and interpolation parameters. The center point
coordinates I, J, K are normally entered in incremental dimensions with reference to the
circle starting point.
You program the absolute center point non-modally with reference to the workpiece zero
with: I=AC(…), J=AC(…), K=AC(…). An interpolation parameter I, J, K with value 0 can be
omitted but the second associated parameter must always be specified.
