5238-E P-321SECTION 14 OTHER FUNCTIONSSECTION 14 OTHER FUNCTIONS1. Direct Taper Angle CommandIn conventional programming, taper cutting called for by G01, G34, and G35 is programmed usingthe coordinates of the target point.However, by using this feature the command is given simply by entering either the X or Z coordinatepoint of the end point of the taper along with the angle referenced to the Z-axis (measured in thecounterclockwise direction).LE33013R0301600010001• An angle command in taper definition is effective in:G00, G01, G31, G32, G33, G34, and G35• The angle is specified following address character "A".The units of angle commands for the metric and inch specifications are as follows:LE33013R0301600010002• The control interprets the commands as a taper command when the commands contain eitheran X or Z word along with an A word.• If an A command is designated with both X and Z words, or if it is designated withoutassociation with an X or Z word, an alarm results.• The direct taper angle command is effective in:LAPTool nose radius compensation modeIncremental programming modeSubprograms+X Z3P3P1 (Z1 X 1)P 2 A2A 3X 2+ZN1N2N3G01 X1X2Z1Z3F1A2A3MetricInch:1 μm unit system..........................0.001°:10 μm unit system........................0.01°:1 mm unit system..........................1°:1/10000 inch unit system.............0.001°:1 inch unit system.........................1°
