Properties of type 1 positioning axis
With SW 5 and lower, type 1 positioning axes have the following behavior:
● The block change occurs (NC block finished) when all the path and positioning axes have
● Continuous-path mode (G64) is only possible for path axes if the positioning axes reach
● Programming with
● The programmed instruction is effective on a non-modal basis. The geometry and
With SW 5 and higher, type 1 positioning axes have the following additional behavior:
● With continuous-path mode (G601, G602, G603) positioning axes/spindles traverse to the
