Corner behavior, transition circle, G41, G42, G450
The tool center point travels around the workpiece corner across an arc with tool radius.
At intermediate point P*, the control executes instructions such as infeed movements or
switching functions. These instructions are programmed in blocks inserted between the two
blocks forming the corner.
G450
P*
The transition circle belongs to the next travel command with respect to the data.
Corner behavior, selectable transitions G41, G42, G450 DISC=…
DISC distorts the transition circle, thus creating sharp contour corners.
The values have the following meanings:
DISC=0 transition circle
DISC=100 intersection of the equidistant paths (theoretical value)
