The tool centerline programing (G40) and cutter diameter compensation (G41/G42) are available with G112. The G112 code allows 3-D contouring using the X, Y, and Z axes. The G112 code is intended to be used with a Lathe using the C-axis and Live Tooling to program cutter anywhere along a non-rotating part. Refer to Chapter 16 for more information on modal G-codes. Cuts that must cross spindle center can be accomplished with two parallel passes on either side of spindle center.Ĭartesian to Polar conversion is a modal command. If necessary re-orient the program so the cut does not go over the center of the part. Tool paths should never cross the spindle centerline. Note: Programmed moves should always position the tool centerline. This feature allows face machining programming in the Cartesian coordinate system. Normally a straight line would require many points to define the path, however, in Cartesian, only end points are necessary. G112 also converts X, Y position commands into rotary C-Axis and linear X-axis moves.Ĭartesian to Polar coordinate programming greatly reduces the amount of code required to command complex moves.

While it is active, the control uses the G17 XY for G01 linear XY strokes and G02 and G03 for circular motion.
