CNC Z32 - Programming Guide (LATHES)
The programming of a profile with radius correction is mainly composed by the following parts:
-
approach to profile
-
profile
execution
-
retract from profile
The approach movement is the movement following the G41 or G42 programming.
The approach movement brings the radiused tool tangent to the path, on the first point defining the profile. The tool
center is thus positioned orthogonal to the profile tangent to the first point:
The same applies to the last point of the profile. The last movement brings the radiused tool tangent to the path, on
the last point defining the profile. The tool center is thus positioned orthogonal to the profile tangent to the last
point:
Two types of approach and retract movements are available.
1) Linear approach and retract
The general programming syntax is as follows:
G0X..Z..
(initial positioning)
G41
(radius correction activation)
X.. Z..
(first profile point)
…
(profile)
…
X.. Z..
(last profile point)
G40
(radius correction deactivation)
X.. Z..
(retract)
For example, a simple profile:
Z
X
-50
5
50
-40
70
80
G0 Z5 X70
G42
X50 Z0
Z-50
X70
G40
X80 Z-40
