•
G Code Group21 : ACCELERATION PROFILE
BRISK / SOFT / DRIVE
Recommended function : SOFT

Soft smoothed path acceleration

To make acceleration as gentle on the machine as possible, the acce-
leration profile of the axes can be influenced by means of the com-
mands Soft and Brisk. If Soft is activated, the acceleration behavior
does not change abruptly but is increased by a linear characteristic.
This reduces the load on the machine. It also has a beneficial effect on
the surface quality of workpieces, since machine resonance is excited
far less frequently.
The axis slides travel with constant acceleration until the feedrate is
reached. SOFT acceleration enables higher path accuracy and less
wear and tear on the machine.
