Perpendicular selection/deselection of TRC (G237)

If the perpendicular mode of selection and deselection is used, there are no restrictions concerning the sequence of blocks as for the direct or indirect selection and deselection mode.

It is also possible to activate TRC for single blocks.

When perpendicular TRC is selected, a block is added running orthogonally to the programmed path. This block is output before the first motion block and represents the distance (tool radius) of the compensated path relative to the programmed path.

When TRC with the perpendicular mode is deselected, a block is added after the deselection block and runs orthogonally to the programmed path. This motion block reverses the distance generated to the programmed path.
