10.6 Block change
Since path and positioning axes are interpolated separately, they reach their programmed
end positions at different instants in time. If path and positioning axes are programmed in a
block together, then the block change behavior depends on the programmable type of
positioning axes.
Type 1: Block-related positioning axis
Properties:
● The block change is performed as soon as all path and positioning axes have reached
their respective programmed end-of-motion criterion:
– Path axes:
G601, G602, G603
– Positioning axes:
FINEA, COARSA, IPOENDA
● Programming the positioning axis:

Figure 10-1 Block change for path axis and positioning axis type 1
Note
Continuous path mode
Continuous path mode across block limits (
G64) is only possible if the positioning axes reach
their end-of-motion criterion before the path axes (in the diagram above, this is not the case).
