If you wish to machine contours that are described in a CAD system
as splines, you can transfer them directly to the TNC and execute
them. The TNC features a spline interpolator for executing third-
degree polynomials in two, three, four, or five axes.
Example: Block format for two axes
The TNC executes the spline block according to the following third-
degree polynomials:
X(t) = K3X · t
3
+ K2X · t
2
+ K1X · t + X
Z(t) = K3Z · t 3 + K2Z · t 2 + K1Z · t + Z
whereby the variable t runs from 1 to 0. The incrementation of t
depends on the feed rate and the length of the spline.
Example: Block format for five axes
You cannot edit spline blocks in the TNC. Exception: Feed
rate F and miscellaneous function M in the spline block.
