Figure 18-25 Overshoot with DISC depending on contour angle
G451 (intersection)
If G function
G451
is active, the position (intersection) resulting from the path lines (straight line, circle or helix
only) located at a distance of the tool radius to the programmed contour (center-point path of the tool), is
approached. Spines and polynomials are never extended.
Very pointed outside corners
Where outside corners are very pointed,
G451
can result in excessive idle paths. Therefore, the system switches
automatically from
G451
(intersection) to
G450
(transition circle, with
DISC
where appropriate) when outside
corners are very pointed.
The threshold angle (contour angle) for this automatic switchover (intersection point → transition circle) can be
specified in the machine data:
MD20210 $MC_CUTCOM_CORNER_LIMIT (Max. angle for compensation blocks with tool radius
compensation).
