the short answer is yes phillips 432 controls can interpolate in in all 3 planes,
XY ZX YZ. They also allow two diffrent input line formats.
Lets say for example you're in the XY plane, G17 your codeing can look like this:
G3 Xx.xxxx Yx.xxxx Rx.xxxx the X and Y values are the endpoint of the circular move and the R is the radius of the circle. The limitation of this format is you can only drive the cutter 180 degrees from the start point to the end point, so you would need two lines of code to go 360 deg's ............or you can code it like this
G3 Xx.xxxx Yx.xxxx Ix.xxxx Jx.xxxx again the X and Y values are the end point of the move and the I and J values are the center point of the circle.
I use the X,Y,I,J format because with a little bit more code you can do a helical interpolation
G3 Xx.xxxx Yx.xxxx Zx.xxxx Ix.xxxx Jx.xxxx Kx.xxxx
the X and Y values are the end point of the move and the I and J values are the center point of the circle the Z values is the final depth the helical move and the J value is the pitch of the helical move per 360 degs of motion.
You can use this format in all 3 planes but you need too change the XYZIJK
for the plane you working in.
I'm fairly sure that machine has a 432-10 control, so you can do alot of tricks right out of the box with it.
Do you have a programing manual? I may be able to help you out with getting you one.

I would be amazed if it can't, this is the most basic thing that a CNC can do! That is why we call them a Computer Numeric Control and not just an NC, it is the computer's ability to calculate all those points around a circle that in the bad old days an NC program man would have to compute himself!
Just look in your manual for G02 & G03 and there it will tell you how to program a line, or the mc with Philips 432 will prompt you for the info

But that's when men were men and cigarettes were cigarettes

I do not have any manuals yet. If I did I wouldn't have to ask such a basic question.

I haven't found any pdf manuals on line yet.

I would be greatfull If You Could help to find a set of manuals.

My 800P does not do Circular Interpolation with a Heidenhain TNC 135 Controll.

Bill, I tried to send you an [email protected] got kicked back.
Is that a good email address?

hi
i need phillips 432 controller manual. my machine is maho (mill). how can i download free it?

[ady23_pm]

dear friends,

please send me which part do you want to know about, because I can't scan whole pages!

also is there any body know about Indromat and he has the drawings of it ?

Thanks all

Hi i have the Indromat drawings leave me email u send u
