Fanuc G72.1 Rotational Copy
Using G72.1 Rotational Copy G-code a figure specified by a subprogram can be repeatedly produced with Rotational movement.

Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| P | Subprogram number |
| L | Number of times the operation is repeated |
| X | Center of rotation on the X axis |
| Y | Center of rotation on Y axis |
| R | Angular displacement (a positive value indicates a counter clockwise angular displacement. Specify an incremental value.) |

Programming Notes
Notes
- In the G72.1 block, addresses other than P, L, X, Y and R are ignored.
- P, X, Y and R must always be specified.
- If L is not specified, the figure is copied once.
- The coordinate of the center of rotation is handled as an absolute value even if it is specified in the incremental mode.
- Specify an increment in the angular displacement at address R. The angular displacement (degree) for the Nth figure is calculated as follows: Rx(N-1).
First block of the subprogram
Always specify a move command in the first block of a subprogram that performs a rotational copy. If the first block contains only the program number such as O00001234; and does not have a move command, movement may stop at the start point of the figure made by the n-th (n = 1,2, 3, …) copying.
Example of an incorrect program
O00001234 ; G00 G90 X100.0 Y200.0 ; ; ; M99 ;
Example of a correct program
O00001000 G00 G90 X100.0 Y200.0 ; ; ; M99 ;
Limitation
Specifying two or more commands to copy a figure
G72.1 cannot be specified more than once in a subprogram for making a rotational copy (If this is attempted, alarm PS0900 will occur).
In a subprogram that specifies rotational copy, however, linear copy (G72.2) can be specified. Similarly, in a subprogram that specifies linear copy, rotational copy can be specified.
Commands that must not be specified
Within a program that performs a rotational copy, the following must not be specified:
Command for changing the selected plane (G17 to G19)
Command for specifying polar coordinates (G16)
Reference position return command(G28)
Axis switching
Coordinate system rotation (G68)
scaling (G51)
programmable mirror image (G51.1)
The command for rotational copying can be specified after a command for coordinate system rotation, scaling, or programmable mirror image is executed.
Single block
Single-block stops are not performed in a block with G721.1 or G72.2.
