Linear interpolation is always performed in the following cases:
● For a G-code combination with
● With a combination of
● When a compressor or transformation is active
● In point-to-point (PTP) travel mode
● When a contour handwheel is selected (FD=0)
● In case of an active frame with rotation of geometry axes
● If nibbling is active for geometry axes
Non-linear interpolation
Properties:
● Each path axis interpolates as a single axis (positioning axis) independently of the other
● The channel-specific delete distance-to-go command via the PLC and synchronized
In non-linear interpolation, with reference to the axial jerk:
● The setting of the concerned positioning axes BRISKA, SOFTA, DRIVEA
or
● The setting in the machine data:
The existing system variables which refer to the distance-to-go ($AC_PATH, $AC_PLTBB
and $AC_PLTEB) are supported.
Risk of collision
As traversal of another contour is possible with non-linear interpolation, synchronized
actions that refer to coordinates of the original path may not be active.
