107HEIDENHAIN TNC 426 B, TNC 430
The distance from the starting and end points of the arc
diameter cannot be greater than the diameter of the arc.
The maximum possible radius is 99.9999 m.
You can also enter rotary axes A, B and C.
Circular path CT with tangential connection
The tool moves on an arc that starts at a tangent with the previously
programmed contour element.
A transition between two contour elements is called “tangential”
when there is no kink or corner at the intersection between the two
contours — the transition is smooth.
The contour element to which the tangential arc connects must be
programmed immediately before the CT block. This requires at
least two positioning blocks.

A tangential arc is a two-dimensional operation: the
coordinates in the CT block and in the contour element
preceding it must be in the same plane of the arc.
