R
Specifies the radius of a corner round. A radius of one inch would be written as R1. or
R10000 and a radius of 0.010" would be input as R.01 or R100 ( Example NC code
G01 X1.0 R.050 this would cause the intersection of the next line to be filleted by .0500)
Note: offset must be turned on for the R code to be used. See page 10-14.
RA
Specifies the amount of rotation about the G92 point of the program. Use G26 to turn it
on. Think of the 3 o’clock position as 0 rotation. Rotating a program clockwise is a minus
rotation and counter clockwise is a positive rotation. See page 10-16 for more
information.
N0000 (PROGRAM START)
N0001 G26 RA 45.0 (rotation angle of 45 degrees)
N0002 G92 X0 Y0 (start point location)
N0003 (rest of program here)
N0004 (rest of program here)
N0025 G27 (cancel rotation)
N0026 M02 (end of program)
Q
Designates a pre-existing routine to be executed. Stored on the user disk or harddrive is a
program to pick up the center of a hole. It is stored with the numeric title 0145. To
execute this program, type Q0145 in MAL, MDI and press enter and the control will load
the program from the user disk or harddrive and execute it.
TP or TN
This is for inputting the taper settings Table To Program and Table To Next in the SET
screen. These codes may appear in an NC program to load the taper registers
automatically with the value that appears directly after these codes. Used when you want
to program the machine to cut taper, holding size at different heights for different
openings.
Example:
G92XY
TP2.000 (Sets Table To Program At 2.000)
TN0000(Sets Table To Next At 0)
