Path segmentation for path axes

Length of SPP path segment
SPP
length of the path segments in which the total traversing distance is to be divided. The
command is deactivated with
Example:
N10 SON X0 Y0
N20
The total traversing distance of 10 mm will be divided into five path sections each of 2 mm
(
SPP=2

The path segments effected by
length. In other words, the programmed path segment size (
quotient of the total traversing distance and the SPP value is an integer. If this is not the
case, the size of the path segment is reduced internally such as to produce an integer
quotient.
Example:
N10 G1 G91 SON X10 Y10
N20 SPP=3.5 X15 Y15
When the total traversing distance is 15 mm and the path segment length 3.5 mm, the
quotient is not an integer value (4.28). In this case, the SPP value is reduced down to the
next possible integer quotient. The result in this example would be a path segment length of
3 mm.
