Programming a circle with known center point
To program a circle or arc with a known center point, use the "Circle center point" function.
The tool traverses a circular path from its actual position to the programmed target position
at the machining feedrate. The system calculates the radius of the circle/arc on the basis of
the entered interpolation parameter settings I and K.
The ShopTurn program to be processed has been created and you are
in the editor.
Press the menu forward key and the "Straight Circle" soft
key.
Press the "Circle center point" softkey.
