G18 Tool nose radius compensation: X-Z plane selection

          

                        This instructs the compensation plane when nose radius compensation is conducted at lathe machining.

[Command format]

         G119: C-X-Z plane (cutter radius compensation for side contour generation)

          G17:  X-Y plane (cutter radius compensation for face contour generation)

          G18:  X-Z plane (nose radius compensation)

          G19:  Y-Z plane (Y-axis control specification)

[Note]

          1. G17 and G119 are valid only in the C-axis control mode.

          2. Instructing cancel of C-axis control enters the G18 mode.

          3. Resetting the NC enters the G18 mode.
