Continuous Path Setup Parameters
MC_4020:
Continuous Path
Range
With Continuous Path Mode active, the
CNC blends one move into another,
without a complete stop between
moves. The Continuous Path Mode
activates at power On and is used for
feed moves.
The CNC approaches the target
position and comes within the
continuous path tolerance of the target.
Then, the CNC begins to calculate the
next programmed move. It does not
make an in-position check before it
executes the next move. This results in
a smoothly contoured profile or surface.
The CNC activates the
Continuous
Path Mode
(s) for all selected axes.
