Departing on a circular path with tangential
connection: DEP CT
The tool moves on a circular arc from the last contour point P
the end point P . The circular arc connects tangentially to the last
N
contour element.
Program the last contour element with the end point P
radius compensation
Initiate the dialog with the APPR DEP key and DEP CT soft key
Center angle CCA of the arc
Radius R of the circular arc
If the tool should depart the workpiece in the
direction opposite to the radius compensation:
Enter R as a positive value.
If the tool should depart the workpiece in the
direction
Enter R as a negative value.

Departing on a circular arc tangentially connecting
the contour and a straight line: DEP LCT
The tool moves on a circular arc from the last contour point P
to an auxiliary point P . It then moves on a straight line to the
H
end point P . The arc is tangentially connected both to the last
N
contour element and to the line from P
are known, the radius R suffices to unambiguously define the tool
path.
Program the last contour element with the end point P
radius compensation
Initiate the dialog with the APPR/DEP key and DEP LCT soft key
Enter the coordinates of the end point P
Radius R of the circular arc. Enter R as a positive
value
