6.8 C-Axis Contours
Lateral surface: Circular hole or figure pattern
This function defines a linear hole or figure pattern on the lateral
surface.
Parameters
Z Center of pattern
CY Center of pattern – angle as “linear dimension”
C Center of pattern – angle
Q Number of figures (default: 1)
Orientation
 Clockwise
 Counterclockwise
R Radius of the pattern
K Diameter of the pattern
A Starting angle, position of the first figure (reference: Z 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: Z 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).
