Three-dimensional movement
The NC block contains three coordinates. The TNC thus moves the
tool spatially to the programmed position.
Example
L X+80 Y+0 Z-10
Circles and circular arcs
The TNC moves two axes simultaneously on a circular path relative
to the workpiece. You can define a circular movement by entering
the circle center CC.
When you program a circle, the control assigns it to one of the
main planes. This main plane for a TOOL CALL must be defined
when the spindle axis is set:
Spindle axis
Z
Y
X
You can program circles that do not lie parallel to a
main plane by using the function for Tilt working
plane or with Q parameters.

Direction of rotation DR for circular movements
When a circular path has no tangential transition to another contour
element, enter the direction of rotation as follows:
Clockwise direction of rotation: DR-
Counterclockwise direction of rotation: DR+
