NC block compression (COMPON, C OMPCURV, COMPCAD) 
Fu n ctionality 
CAD/CAM systems normally produce linear blocks, which meet the configured accuracy specifications. In the case of 
complex contours, a large volume of data and short path sections can result. The short path sections restrict the processing 
rate. 
By using a compressor function, the contour, specified by using linear blocks, is approached using polynomial blocks. This 
has the following advantages: 
●  Reduction of the number of required part program blocks for describing the workpiece contour 
●  Continuous block transitions 
●  Higher maximum path velocities 
The following compressor functions are available: 
●  COMPON 
The block transitions are only constant in the velocity, while acceleration of the participating axes can be in jumps at 
block transitions. 
●  COMPCURV 
Block transitions have continuous acceleration. This ensures both smooth velocity and acceleration of all axes at block 
transitions. 
●  COMPCAD 
The compression that uses a lot  of computation time and memory space is optimized regarding surface quality and 
speed. COMPCAD should only be used if  measures to improve the surface cannot be taken by  the CAD/CAM program in 
advance. 
COMPOF  terminates the compressor function.
