Motion steps between start point and end point (G340 and G341).
In all cases, the movements are made up of one or more straight lines and, depending on the
G command for determining the approach contour, an additional straight line or a quadrant or
semicircle. The two variants of the path segmentation are shown in the following figure:

G340: Approach with a straight line from point P
0
to point P
1
. This straight line is parallel to the
machining plane, if parameter DISRP has not been programmed.
Infeed perpendicular to the machining plane from point P
1
to point P
3
to the safety clearance
to the machining plane defined by the DISCL parameter.
Approach end point P4 with the curve determined by the G command of the second group
(straight line, circle, helix). If G247 or G347 is active (quadrant or semicircle) and start point
P
3
is outside the machining plane defined by the end point P
4
, a helix is inserted instead of
a circle. Point P
2
is not defined or coincides with P
3
.
The circle plane or the helix axis is determined by the plane, which is active in the SAR block
(G17/G18/G19), i.e. the projection of the start tangent is used by the following block, instead
of the tangent itself, to define the circle.
The movement from point P
0
to point P
3
takes place along two straight lines at the velocity
valid before the SAR block.
G341: Approach with a straight line from point P
0
to point P
1
. This straight line is parallel to the
machining plane, if parameter DISRP has not been programmed.
Infeed perpendicular to the machining plane from point P
1
up to the safety clearance to the
machining plane defined by the DISCL parameter in point P
2
.
Infeed perpendicular to the machining plane from point P
2
to point P
3
. Approach end point
with the curve determined by the G command of the second group. P
3
and P
4
are located
within the machining plane, with the result that a circle is always inserted instead of a helix
with G247 or G347.
In all cases that include the position of the active plane G17/G18/G19 (circular plane, helical
axis, infeed motion perpendicular to the active plane), any active rotating frame is taken into
account.
