Art Execution Definition
This subheader enables you to define the support of different arcs and how they are executed by the machine.
Parameter Name |
Description |
PRP Name |
| Support Arcs | Defines whether or not the machine has an arc command. | arc_exist |
| Helical Arcs | Defines whether or not the machine has helical arcs. |
arc_3d |
| 4x Helical Arcs | Defines whether or not the machine has arcs with different depths on 4th Axis. | arc_3d_4x |
| Arc in One Quadrant Only | Defines whether or not an arc should be divided into quadrants. | arc_in_quadrants |
| Greater Than 180deg Arcs | Defines whether or not the machine has arcs greater than 180°. | arc_gt_180 |
| Arcs in ZX/YZ Plane | Generates GCode that includes arcs in ZXplane (G18) and YZ-plane (G19). | arc_zx_yz |
| Arcs in Main Planes (XY, YZ, ZX) Only | Generates GCode that includes arcs in XY-, YZ-, and ZX-planes only. The arcs in other planes are divided to lines. | arc_in_main_planes |
| 5x Arcs On Face | Generates GCode that includes arcs in face 4x. | arc_5x (PTM = Y)*; arc_exist (PTM = N)** |
| 5x Arcs on Radial | Generates GCode that includes arcs in radial 4x. | arc_exist (PTM = N) |
| Max Chord Length (mm or inch) | Along with Max Arc Angle, defines precision of interpolation of arcs to lines. | arc_max_chord |
| Min Arc Length (mm or inch) | The smallest arc value below which the arc is converted into a line. | arc_min_length |
| Max Arc Angle (deg) | Along with Max Chord Length, defines precision of interpolation of arcs to lines. | arc_max_angle |
| Min Arc Angle (deg) | The smallest arc angle below which the arc is converted into a line. | eps_angle |
| Max Arc Radius (mm or inch) | The maximum arc radius value above which the arc is divided into linear segments. | arc_max_radius |
| Min Arc Radius (mm or inch) | The minimum arc radius value below which the arc is divided into linear segments. | arc_min_radius |
|
* PTM = Y (Pos to Machine = YES): Refer to Pos to Machine parameter. ** PTM = N (Pos to Machine = NO): Refer to Pos to Machine parameter. |
