5 Programming Tool Movements<br />

5.4 Path Contours – Cartesian Coordinates<br />

Corner rounding RND<br />

<strong>TNC</strong> <strong>360</strong><br />

The tool moves in an arc that connects tangentially<br />

both with the preceding and the subsequent<br />

elements. The RND function is useful for:<br />

• Rounding corners<br />

• Approaching and departing contours on a tangent<br />

Input<br />

• Radius of the arc<br />

• Feed rate for RND<br />

Prerequisite<br />

On inside corners, the rounding arc must be large enough to accommodate<br />

the tool.<br />

• In the preceding and subsequent blocks both coordinates should lie in the plane of the arc.<br />

• The corner point E is cut off by the rounding arc and is not part of the contour.<br />

• A feed rate programmed in the RND block is effective only in that block. After the RND block the previous feed<br />

rate becomes effective again.<br />
