Circular to Circular Blocks
When the coordinates of the point of intersection of a circular path into a
circular path are not known, use the following format. Note t hat G13 or
G13.1 m ust be programmed. If using this format the R word may not be
used to specify the radius of an arc in either of the circular blocks. These
blocks must be programmed in absolute.
Format:
G13 G02 I__ J__ ;
G02 X__ Y__ I__ J__ ;
Important: The I, J, K integrand vectors are not necessarily the same
values as discussed in section 15.1.3. The i ntegrands of the first circular
block specify the distance from the start-point
to the center of the circle.
The integrands of the second circular block specify the distance from the
end-point
to the center of the circle (this is the reverse of normal). At least
one of these i ntegrand words must be programmed in each of the two
circular blocks.
Neither circular block may contain an angle word (,A) when using this
format.
