Rounding RND

Application

With the rounding function RND you can use a circular path to round off the intersection of two path functions.

Requirements

  • Path functions before and after the rounding arc
  • Identical tool compensation before and after the rounding arc
  • Rounding is machinable with the current tool

Description of function

8H000_52

You program the rounding arc between two path functions. The circular arc connects tangentially to the previous and subsequent contour element. The control does not traverse to the intersection.

If you program a feed rate in the RND block, then this feed rate is in effect only while cutting the rounding arc.

Program rounding RND

  1. To program a rounding RND:
Rnd

  1. Select RND
  2. Define the radius
  3. Define the feed rate, if necessary
