Direct Taper Angle Command
In conventional programming, taper cutting called for by G01, G34, and G35 is programmed using
the coordinates of the target point.
However, by using this feature the command is given simply by entering either the X or Z coordinate
point of the end point of the taper along with the angle referenced to the Z-axis (measured in the
counterclockwise direction).

•
An angle command in taper definition is effective in:
G00, G01, G31, G32, G33, G34, and G35
•
The angle is specified following address character "A".
The units of angle commands for the metric and inch specifications are as follows:
LE33013R0301600010002
•
The control interprets the commands as a taper command when the commands contain either
an X or Z word along with an A word.
•
If an A command is designated with both X and Z words, or if it is designated without
association with an X or Z word, an alarm results.
