Approaching On A Circular Path With Tangential Connection From A Straight Line To The Contour Appr Lct - HEIDENHAIN TNC 320 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 simultaneously in all three
axes to the auxiliary point PH and then, only in the working plane,
from P to P .
H A
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.
Use any path function to approach the starting point P
Initiate the dialog with the APPR/DEP key and APPR LCT soft
key:
Coordinates of the first contour point P
Radius R of the circular arc. Enter R as a positive
value
Radius compensation RR/RL for machining
Example NC blocks
7 L X+40 Y+10 R0 FMAX M3
8 APPR LCT X+10 Y+20 Z-10 R10 RR F100
9 L X+20 Y+35
10 L ...
Departing in a straight line with tangential
connection: DEP LT
The tool moves on a straight line from the last contour point P
the end point P . The line lies on the extension of the last contour
N
element. P is separated from P
N
Program the last contour element with the end point P
radius compensation
Initiate the dialog with the APPR/DEP key and DEP LT soft key:
LEN: Enter the distance from the last contour
element P

24 DEP LT LEN12.5 F100
25 L Z+100 FMAX M2
