I-RADIUS ) INTERNAL RADIUS CONVEX
This mode is used to rotate convex inner radii. The X and Z axes are moved simultaneously. In
addition to round radii, elliptical radii are also possible.
The cutting radius correction requires that this process is carried out beyond XP and ZP! The
exact procedure is shown below, for clarification with a round insert:
Pr = cutting radius
1. Tool is moved beyond ZP by the amount of the cutting radius.
2. The tool then stands lower than ZP!
3. Contour is traversed
4. The travel ends by the amount of the cutting radius further beyond XP.
5. Then the reset to 0.0 or to the set resting position takes place.
With small cutting radii, the distance that must be travelled further is therefore small, but it
must be considered if at the end there is an obstacle.
