Circle-Circle Tangent Calculator
This feature provides the ability to determine points of intersection between two circles or points. The user
provides the location of two circles and their radii. The control then calculates all the intersection points that
are formed by lines tangent to both circles. Note: For every input condition where there are two disjointed
circles, there are up to eight intersection points. Four points are obtained from drawing straight tangents and
four points by forming cross tangents. The F1 key is used to toggle between the two diagrams. When "F" is
pressed, the control will prompt for the from and to points (A, B, C, etc.) that specify a segment of the diagram.
If the segment is an arc, the control will also prompt for C or W (CW or CCW). Sample G code is then dis-
played at the bottom of the screen. When "T" is entered, the previous to point becomes the new from point and
the control prompts for a new to point. To enter the solution (line of code), switch to MDI or Edit and press F3,
as the G-code is already on the input line.
Milling/Tapping Help
The Milling/Tapping Help page will help you solve equations relating to milling and tapping. They are:
1. SFM (Surface Feet per Minute) = (CUTTER DIAMETER IN.) * RPM * 3.14159 / 12
2. (FEED IN./MIN.) = RPM / (THREAD PITCH)
3. (CHIP LOAD IN.) = (FEED IN./MIN.) / RPM / #FLUTES
Enter all but one of the values and the control will compute the remaining value. Note that the RPM value for
the first two equations are the same entry.
