2 A block transition G64 (continuous-path mode without rounding) can be traversed
without speed reduction. Rounding would increase the machining time.
3 Rounding is not parameterized. This occurs when ...
1 ADISPOS == 0 in G0 blocks. (default!)
2 ADIS == 0 in non-G0 blocks. (default!)
3 On transition from G0 to non-G0 or non-G0 to G0 respectively, the smaller value from
ADISPOS and ADIS applies.
Synchronized axes
If a number of paths need to be synchronized (e.g., contour, special axis), then every path
must always have its own rounding area.
There are no practical means of achieving this exactly. Therefore, on the basis of the specific
meaning of the contour (geometry axis), the following procedure is applied:
Rounding behavior with synchronized paths
Original path for Result for
Geometry axes Orientation axis/
synchronized axis

Smooth Smooth Defined path is traversed exactly
Smooth Angular path Intermediate blocks,the geometry axes follow the
path exactly, all orientation/synchronized axis paths
are smoothed

rounding, all orientation/synchronized axis paths are
smoothed
