Circular Interpolation Operation
The circular interpolation operation is a positioning procedure, available only in the table operation.
The circular interpolation operation has the center coordinate specification/radius specification formats.
For details on controlling by table operation, and changing the operation speed, refer to the following sections.

For details on the operation speed change, refer to Section 7.6
→
For details on the torque limit, refer to Subsection 7.9.3

For details on the radius specification, refer to Subsection 9.11.2
9.11.1
Circular interpolation [center coordinate specification]
The work piece moves from the start point to the target address, following the circular arc locus around the
specified center coordinate.
1. Operation
1) Set table information, X-axis speed, X/Y axis position (address) information and center coordinate in the
XY table information.
2) Set "table operation (simultaneous)" in the operation pattern selection.
3) When turning the X-axis START command ON at the table operation start number with the specified
circular interpolation (center, CW direction) / (center, CCW direction), the work piece moves to the target
position at the specified speed, following the circle’s center coordinate.
4) The work piece stops at the XY coodinate in target address 1, and the operation ends, turning the
positioning completion signal ON.
