Look Ahead

The »Look Ahead« function is a means of optimizing the machining speed by »looking
ahead« over a parameterizable number of traversing blocks. With tangential block
transitions, the axis is accelerated and decelerated beyond block boundaries, so that no
drops in velocity occur.
The SINUMERIK 802D sl pro allows up to 100 blocks Look Ahead.
