Programming
G450 DISC=…
Or
G451
Parameters
G450 Transition circle: the tool travels around workpiece
corners on a circular path with tool radius
DISC= Flexible programming of the approach and retraction
instruction. In steps of 1 from DISC=0 circle to DISC=100
intersection
G451 Intersection, the tool backs off from the workpiece corner
DISC=... is effective only when G450 is called, but can be programmed in a preceding block
without G450. Both commands are modal.
Example
In this example a transition radius is added to all outside corners (progr. in block N30). This
prevents the tool from having to stop and free cut when changing direction.
