“Lines on circular surface” point pattern
NC1025
NC program for defining a point pattern in which holes are made on a circular workpiece in linear arrangement (capacitor plate). The lines run in parallel to the X axis. In a parameter you define the distance of the holes in X direction. In the same way you define a factor specifying the distance of the lines in Y direction and further parameters that are required for the calculation. Based on these values, the control calculates all possible machining positions, approaches them and calls a drilling cycle defined by you. The control takes the tool radius into account when determining the position.
