Reaction on contour change

A direct contour change, e.g. from G41 to G42, is permitted without any explicit deselection (G40) of TRC. The contour change corresponds to a TRC deselection and selection. Contour change should only be carried out for linear NC blocks for exit and approach blocks. Circular blocks are also permitted directly before and after a contour change.

Notice

notice

If a circular block is programmed during a contour change, an error message is output.
