CNC Program example code with drawing to show how an arc can be milled on a cnc milling machine.
G02 Circular interpolation Clockwise with I & J is used for arc machining.
G2 Circular Interpolation CW
G2 X... Y... I... J...
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| X | Coordinates of the arc end point in x-axis. |
| Y | Coordinates of the arc end point in y-axis. |
| I | Distance from arc start-point to arc-center-point in X-axis. |
| J | Distance from arc start-point to arc-center-point in Y-axis . |
