2. Single axis without path segmentation
The single axis traverses the total distance in the first of the generated blocks.
3. With/without path segmentation
The response of the single axis depends on the interpolation of the path axes:
• Circular interpolation: Path segmentation
• Linear interpolation: No path segmentation
Response to SPN
The programmed number of path segments is applicable even if a path axis is not
programmed in the same block.
Requirement: The single axis is defined as a punching/nibbling axis.
