10.4 Automatic path segmentation
The axis response illustrated in the diagram above can be particularly useful when applied to
the axis of a rotatable tool in cases where it is used to place the tool in a defined direction
(e.g. tangential) in relation to the contour, but where the tangential control function must not
be applied. However, it is not a substitute for the tangential control function since the start
and end positions of the rotary axis must always be programmed.
Note
Additional offset motions of special axes (in this case, rotary axis C) are implemented via a
zero offset.
