In smooth interpolation mode, the CNC automatically determines, according to the program
command, whether an accurate figure is required, such as at corners, or a smooth figure is
required where the radius of curvature is large. If a block specifies a travel distance or
direction which differs greatly from that in the preceding block, smooth interpolation is not
performed for that block. Linear interpolation is performed exactly as specified by the
program command. Programming is thus very simple.
Note )
When the result of the automatic judgment of CNC is different
from the movement which the programmer intended, cancel a
smooth interpolation temporarily or change the instruction point
or the correspondence of the adjustment of the parameter etc. is
needed.
