Zero Point For Polar Coordinates: Pole I, J - HEIDENHAIN iTNC 530 User Manual

Zero point for polar coordinates: pole I, J

You can define the pole CC anywhere in the part program before
blocks containing polar coordinates. Set the pole in the same way as
you would program the circle center.
U Coordinates: Enter Cartesian coordinates for the pole
or, if you want to use the last programmed position,
enter G29. Before programming polar coordinates,
define the pole. You can only define the pole in
Cartesian coordinates. The pole remains in effect until
you define a new pole.
Example NC blocks
N120 I+45 J+45 *
Straight line at rapid traverse G10
Straight line with feed rate G11 F
The tool moves in a straight line from its current position to the
straight-line end point. The starting point is the end point of the
preceding block.
U Polar coordinate radius R: Enter the distance from
11
the pole CC to the straight-line end point
U Polar coordinate angle H: Angular position of the
straight-line end point between –360° and +360°
The sign of H depends on the angle reference axis:
If the angle from the angle reference axis to R is counterclockwise:
H>0
If the angle from the angle reference axis to R is clockwise: H<0
