1138 HEIDENHAIN Technical Manual MANUALplus 620
Speed – Example values of a medium-sized machine:
Recommended settings guidelines for "accuracy":
Basic settings:
 Use the HSC filter whenever possible (with limit frequencies greater than 30 
Hz)
MP_shape = HSC
 Define HSC mode (Cycle 32):
MP_hscMode = Smoothing
 Use lower jerk values than in the default setting
CfgLaAxis: MP_axTransJerk
CfgLaPath: MP_maxPathJerk
Optional:
CfgLaAxis: MP_axPathJerk
(Software option 2 is required!)
 Use limit frequencies above 30 Hz
Perform an adjustment:
 Goal:
The programmed contour tolerance (Cycle 32) must be maintained while the 
following error is kept at a minimum
 Use suitable NC program. 
The TNCopt software from HEIDENHAIN features the "Contour-Single.h" 
NC program within the "contour measurement" function. The advantage is 
that the speed and the contour deviations can be seen directly.

Possibility of further adjustment:
Ideally, circular paths should be checked with a KGM grid encoder from 
HEIDENHAIN. However, in many cases the circular interpolation test with 
the integrated oscilloscope or TNCopt suffices.
To reduce deformations of the machine elements under increased 
centrifugal forces (radial acceleration) the acceleration values set in 
MP_maxAcceleration may have to be reduced to 1.5 m/s
