For non-tangential transitions (corners), the velocity can be reduced rapidly enough so that
the axes are subject to a relatively high velocity change over a short period of time. This may
lead to a significant jerk (acceleration change). The size of the jerk can be limited by
activating the SOFT function.

Look-ahead velocity control:
In the continuous-path control mode with G64, the control system automatically determines
the velocity control for several NC blocks in advance. This enables acceleration and
deceleration across multiple blocks with approximately tangential transitions. For paths that
consist of short travels in the NC blocks, higher velocities can be achieved than without look
ahead.
