Machine Data, Modes and Traversing Programs IP 266
• G25: Approach target over the shortest path
G26: Approach target in a clockwise direction
G27: Approach target in a counter-clockwise direction
These functions can be executed for a rotary axis only, and are ignored for a
linear axis.
G25: Approach target over the shortest path
When the program is invoked, it defaults to G25. The IP computes the
direction of travel. If the distance is the same in both directions, the target is
approached from the preferred direction (clockwise).
The IP does not take backlash compensation into account when computing
the direction, thus making it possible that the longer path will be taken in a
small number of special situations. Figure 5-29 illustrates such a situation.
