Every motion control system will have error. The question we must ask is "Is the error within our tolerance?" To answer this question is difficult without specialized equipment. One method is to cut an arc on a piece of material and then measure it. A coordinate measuring machine can give a good indication of the deviation from a true circular arc-form. We can also check the actual motion of the machine tool while it is moving. There are commercial systems available that use a linear transducer to measure the actual machine position while in motion.

There are some situations in which you may want or need to return to the machine zero on one or more axes to change tools, to inspect the workpiece, or to set a preprogrammed work offset. In these situations, we can use the G28 code to instruct the machine to automatically return to its home position. When G28 is called, the machine will immediately move at rapid traverse to the home position on the specified axes. If no axis is specified, the machine will return to the home position on every axis; usually the Z-axis is homed first for safety.

Using R with circular interpolation is straightforward-you simply use the ____ of the arc instead of I and J.
