Mode of action of the programmed feed rate
The TNC provides two functions for defining the mode of action of
the programmed feed rate:
F TCP determines that the programmed feed
rate is interpreted as the actual relative velocity
between the tool point (
t ool c enter p oint) and the
workpiece.
F CONT determines that the programmed feed
rate is interpreted as the contouring feed rate of
the axis programmed in the respective NC block.
Example NC blocks

13 FUNCTION TCPM F TCP ...
Feed rate refers to the tool tip
14 FUNCTION TCPM F CONT ...
Feed rate is interpreted as the speed of the tool along the
contour

Interpretation of the programmed rotary axis
coordinates
Up to now, machines with 45° swivel heads or 45° tilting tables
could not easily set the angle of inclination or a tool orientation
with respect to the currently active coordinate system (spatial
angle). This function could only be realized through specially written
programs with normal vectors (LN blocks).
The TNC now provides the following function:
AXIS POS determines that the TNC interprets the
programmed coordinates of rotary axes as the
nominal position of the respective axis
AXIS SPAT determines that the TNC interprets the
programmed coordinates of rotary axes as the
spatial angle
