Reduction of the 
contouring feed 
rate at the 
beginning of a 
contour element
The new, optional parameter MP_reduceCornerFeed was introduced with 
NCK software version 597 110-05 (MLST 5) With this parameter you can 
activate or deactivate a reduction of the contouring feed rate at the beginning 
of any contour element.
The setting MP_reduceCornerFeed = TRUE reduces the contouring feed rate 
at the beginning of a contour element. This may improve the accuracy, but also 
results in a longer machining time.
If a short machining time is more important than high accuracy, you should set 
MP_reduceCornerFeed to the value FALSE. This way the contouring feed rate 
at contouring elements is not reduced and the machining time is shorter.
