MD26016 $MC_PUNCH_PARTITION_TYPE=2
MD26016=2 is set in cases where the axis must behave as described above in linear
interpolation mode, but according to the default setting in circular interpolation mode (see
1st case).
The axis behavior for the example is then as follows: In block N20, the C axis is rotated to
C=45° in the first sub-block. The following circular interpolation block rotates the C axis
through 15° in every sub-block.
