Circular Interpolation With Opening Angle And Center Point - Siemens SINUMERIK 828D Programming Manual

9.6.4 Circular interpolation with opening angle and center point (G2/G3, X... Y... Z.../
I... J... K..., AR)
Function
The circular movement is described by:
● The opening angle AR = and
● The end point in Cartesian coordinates X, Y, Z or
● The circle center at addresses I, J, K
Syntax
G2/G3 X... Y... Z... AR=
G2/G3 I... J... K... AR=

Note
Full circles (traversing angle 360°) cannot be programmed with AR=, but must be
programmed using the circle end position and interpolation parameters. The center point
coordinates I, J, K are normally entered in incremental dimensions with reference to the
circle starting point.
You can program the absolute center point dimensions in relation to the workpiece zero
block-by-block with: I=AC(...), J=AC(...), K=AC(...). One interpolation parameter I, J, K with
value 0 can be omitted, but the associated second parameter must always be specified.

Circular interpolation clockwise
Circular interpolation counter-clockwise
: End point in Cartesian coordinates
: Circle center point in Cartesian coordinates (in X, Y, Z direction)
The identifiers have the following meanings:
I: Coordinate of the circle center point in the X direction
J: Coordinate of the circle center point in the Y direction
K: Coordinate of the circle center point in the Z direction
: Opening angle, range of values 0° to 360°
: Absolute dimensions (non-modal)
