Invalid definition for 3D circles.

Description

The starting, intermediate and end points are required to obtain the unambiguous definition of a 3D circle. These 3 points must meet specific conditions in order to calculate a 3D circle.

For example, the points may not

• be identical or
• lie on a straight line

Response

Class

1

Abort NC program processing.

Solution

Class

3

With error value 1, program the points (not identical, not colinear) so that a 3D circle can be described taking the calculation tolerance into consideration.

Parameter

%1:

Current value [-]

Value for the cause of error:

1: The starting, intermediate and end points are identical or lie on a straight line (colinear). An internal calculation tolerance is used to determine colinearity. Therefore the 3 points may not be anywhere approximating a straight line.

2: Internal calculation error (negative root). Please forward the complete error message to the CNC manufacturer

Error type
