The tool of an NC machine has to move along a circular arc from (5, 5) to (10, 10) while performing an operation. The center of the arc is at (10, 5). Which one of the following NC tool path commands performs the above mentioned operation?

(a) N010 G02 X10 Y10 X5 Y5 R5

(b) N010 G03 X10 Y10 X5 Y5 R5

(c) N010 G01 X5 Y5 X10 Y10 R5

(d) N010 G02 X5 Y5 X10 Y10 R5

I got this question during an online interview.

I'm obligated to ask this question of Computer Aided Analysis for Four Bar Mechanism topic in division Computer Aided Analysis and Synthesis of Mechanisms of Machine Dynamics

The correct option is (d) N010 G02 X5 Y5 X10 Y10 R5

The best I can explain: Tool-Radius Compensation

 Left hand G41

 Right hand G42

 Cancel tool-radius compensation G40

 Tool-Height Compensation

 Positive G43

 Negative G44

 Cancel tool-height compensation G49

Tool-radius compensations make it possible to program directly from the drawing, and thus eliminate the tool-offset calculation

G41 (G42) Dxx

Dxx: the radius of tool to compensate is saved in a memory unit that is named Dxx

G41/G42 is directly related with direction of tool movement and which side of part is cut.
