Contour approach and retraction (NORM, KONT, KONTC, KONTT)

Function
You can use these functions to adapt the approach and retraction paths, for example,
according to the desired contour or shape of the blanks.
Only G1 blocks are permitted as original approach/retraction blocks for the two functions
KONTC and KONTT. The control replaces these by polynomials for the relevant
approach/retraction path.

Parameters
NORM
KONT
KONTC
KONTT
KONTC
The contour point is approached/exited with a continuous curvature. No acceleration step
change occurs at the contour point. The path from the starting point to the contour point is
interpolated as a polynomial.
KONTT
The contour point is approached/exited along a continuous tangent. An acceleration step
change might occur at the contour point. The path from the starting point to the contour point
is interpolated as a polynomial.

8.9 Contour approach and retraction (NORM, KONT, KONTC, KONTT)
The tool travels directly in a straight line and is positioned
perpendicular to the contour point
The tool traverses the contour point according to the programmed
corner behavior G450 or G451.
Tool reaches/leaves contour point with continuous curvature.
Continuous curvature includes continuous tangent. See below. With
continuous curvature means at constant acceleration.
Tool reaches/leaves contour point along continuous tangent.
Generally, continuous tangent is not continuous acceleration.
