4.3 Basic Contour Elements
Circular arc of turning contour G2/G3-Geo
G2/G3 defines a circular arc in a contour with incremental center
dimensioning. Direction of rotation (see help graphic):
G2: In clockwise direction
G3: In counterclockwise direction
Example: G2-, G3-Geo
Parameters
X Final point of contour element (diameter value)
Z Final point of contour element
I Center (distance from starting point to center as radius)
K Center (distance from starting point to center)
R Radius
Q Point of intersection. End point if the circular arc intersects a
line segment or another circular arc (default: 0):
0: Near point of intersection
1: Far point of intersection
BR Chamfer/rounding. Defines the transition to the next contour
element. When entering a chamfer/rounding, program the
theoretical end point.
No entry: Tangential transition
BR=0: No tangential transition
BR>0: Rounding radius
BR<0: Width of chamfer

elements” on page 181)
Programming X, Z: Absolute, incremental, modal or “?”
