Programming Arcs
Arc Overview
G02 Clock Wise Arc
To program an arc, you
must know the coordinates
of the following three points:
1. Arc Start Point
Notes:
On machining centers, you
are programming the center
of the cutter, so you must
account for the radius of the
cutter.
The cutter must be tangent
to the arc at the start point
and at the end point.

I and J (continued)
Mathematically, you can calculate I and J as:
I = XArcCenterPoint -XArcStartPoint
J= YArcCenterPoint -YArcStartPoint
I=Distance from the Arc Start Point to the Arc Center point in X
J=Distance from the Arc Start Point to the Arc Center point in Y
Notice the difference between the mathematical definition and the
written description of I and J. You can use either method to find I
and J, but be sure you get the sign correct!
I = 3.0 3.0 = 0
J = 3.0 4.5 = -1.5
