3.2.8 Compute Radius


The system provides the function of calculating the circle radius determined by the three points that are not on the same straight line. Place the cursor on the command line after the three points to be calculated, and then select this function from "F2→Edit→Compute Radius" , Or enter the manual mode while editing and press ALT+R to calculate the radius, and the second and third lines will automatically replace the calculated G02/G03 code.


Note 1:

This function can only be operated in absolute coordinate mode, and the X and Y values of these three lines must be present.

Note 2:

If the specified three points exist in a straight line, the system will send an error message.


Example:

Program before calculating the radius is:

G00 X+000.000 Y+000.000

G01 X+003.000 Y+004.000

G01 X+000.000 Y+004.000


If the cursor after the third line, and in manual mode by ALT+R, the program will become:

G00 X+000.000 Y+000.000

G03 X+003.000 Y+004.000 R+002.500

G03 X+000.000 Y+004.000 R+002.500
