6.8 C-Axis Contours
Front or rear face: Circular hole or figure pattern
This function defines a circular hole or figure pattern on the front/rear
face.
Parameters
XK Center of pattern in Cartesian coordinates
YK Center of pattern in Cartesian coordinates
a Center of pattern in polar coordinates (reference angle:
positive XK axis)
PM Center of pattern in polar coordinates
Q Number of figures
Orientation:
 Clockwise
 Counterclockwise
R Radius of the pattern
K Diameter of the pattern
A Starting angle, position of the first figure (reference: XK axis)
If A and W are not programmed: Figures are arranged on a
full circle, starting at 0°
W End angle, position of the last figure (reference: XK axis)
If W is not programmed: Figures are arranged on a full circle,
starting at A
Wi Angle between two figures (algebraic sign has no effect)
Position of the figures
 Normal position: The original figure is rotated about the
center of the pattern (rotation)
 Original position: The position of the original figure is
maintained (translation)
Hole description/figure description
When defining patterns with circular slots, the “center of
curvature” is added to the pattern position (see “Circular
pattern with circular slots” on page 169).
