Function TNC 640 iTNC 530
Circle programming with polar
coordinates The incremental rotation angle
IPA
and the direction of rotation
DR
must have the same sign. Other-
wise, an error message will be
issued
The algebraic sign of the direc-
tion of rotation is used if the sign
defined for
DR
differs from the one
defined for
IPA
Tool radius compensation on circular
arc or helix with angular length = 0 The transition between the
adjacent elements of the arc/helix
is generated. Also, the tool axis
motion is executed right before
this transition. If the element is the
first or last element to be correct-
ed, the next or previous element is
dealt with in the same way as the
first or last element to be correct-
ed The equidistant line of the arc/helix
is used for generating the tool path

SLII Cycles 20 to 24:
Number of definable contour
elements Max. 16384 blocks in up to 12
subcontours Max. 8192 contour elements
in up to 12 subcontours, no
restrictions for subcontour
Define the working plane Tool axis in
TOOL CALL
block
defines the working plane
The axes of the first positioning
block in the first subcontour
define the working plane
Position at end of SL cycle
With the
posAfterContPocket
(no. 201007) parameter, you can
define whether the end position
is above the last programmed
position, or whether the tool
moves to clearance height in
the tool axis
If the tool moves to clearance
height in the tool axis,
both coordinates must be
programmed with the first
traverse movement
With MP7420, you can define
whether the end position is
above the last programmed
position, or whether the tool
moves only to clearance height
in the tool axis
If the tool moves to clearance
height in the tool axis,
one coordinate must be
programmed with the first
traverse movement
