Q.
The tool of an NC machine has to move along a circular arc from (5, 5) to (10, 10) while performing an operation. The centre of the arc is at (10, 5). Which one of the followingNC tool path command performs the above mentioned operation?
Answer & Explanation
In CNC machining, the G02 code is used for clockwise circular interpolation, which moves the tool along a circular arc. In the given example, the tool moves from the coordinates (5, 5) to (10, 10), with the center of the arc at (10, 5). The R5 parameter indicates the radius of the arc. Correctly using G02 ensures the tool follows the desired arc path, which is important for operations that require precision, such as in complex shapes or curves.
Thus correct option is: A.
