5.6 M Functions for Contouring Behavior and Coordinate Data<br />

5-36<br />

The following miscellaneous functions enable you to change the standard<br />

contouring behavior of the <strong>TNC</strong> in certain situations, such as:<br />

• Smoothing corners<br />

• Inserting transition arcs at non-tangential transitions between straight<br />

lines<br />

• Machining small contour steps<br />

• Machining open contour corners<br />

• Entering machine-reference coordinates<br />

Smoothing corners: M90<br />

Standard behavior - without M90<br />

At angular transitions such as internal corners and contours without radius<br />

compensation, the <strong>TNC</strong> stops the axes briefly.<br />

Advantages:<br />

• Reduced wear on the machine<br />

• High definition of (outside) corners<br />

Note:<br />

In program blocks with radius compensation (G41/G42), the <strong>TNC</strong> automatically<br />

inserts a transition arc at external corners.<br />

Smoothing corners with M90<br />

The tool moves around corners at constant speed.<br />

Advantages:<br />

• Provides a smoother, more continuous surface<br />

• Reduces machining time<br />

Application example:<br />

Surfaces consisting of several straight line elements.<br />

Duration of effect<br />

The miscellaneous function M90 is effective only in the blocks in which it<br />

is programmed. Operation with servo lag must be active.<br />

A limit value can be set in machine parameter MP7460 (see page 11-<br />

9) below which the tool will move at constant feed rate (valid for<br />

operation both with servo lag and with feed precontrol). This value is<br />

valid regardless of M90.<br />
