3.3 “G1 A…” PROGRAMMING WITH ANGLES
When using G1 instructions as well as the end of movement co-ordinates X and/or Z, besides radii or
chamfers on final points (R and ,C) the programmer can indicate the movement angle (A or ,A on
machines that have the motor driven back spindle option)
When programming the angle, value A can be positive or negative in a range from 0° to 360°. To define
the angle value, see the schematised figure imagining to position the “cross” with the centre on the first
point of the straight line. The angle of the line is determined by imagining to turn the cross zero (axis Z) in
the positive or negative direction to meet the straight line.
