Approaching On A Circular Path With Tangential Connection From A Straight Line To The Contour: Appr Lct - HEIDENHAIN TNC 620 User Manual

Approaching on a circular path with tangential
connection from a straight line to the contour:
APPR LCT
The tool moves on a straight line from the starting point P
an auxiliary point P . It then moves to the first contour point P
H
on a circular arc. The feed rate programmed in the APPR block is
effective for the entire path that the TNC traversed in the approach
block (path P to P ).
S A
If you have programmed the coordinates of all three principal axes
X, Y and Z in the approach block, the TNC moves the tool from the
position defined before the APPR block to the auxiliary point P
all three axes simultaneously. Then the TNC goes from P
only on the working plane.
The arc is connected tangentially both to the line P
as to the first contour element. Once these lines are known, the
radius then suffices to completely define the tool path.
Please note that earlier programs may need to be
adapted.
