Continuation position within a block

Position within motion block

Normally block search is disabled between two NC rows. However, if this is a motion block, it may also be required to specify the continuation position within the motion block with greater precision. Therefore, there is an option for motion blocks to define a path distance within the block in addition to the block specification. This path distance can be specified in two ways:

Specify the covered distance in the block in per thousand referred to the current distance length of the block (see section Covered distance in current block in per thousand).

Specify the covered distance from program start or from the last #DISTANCE PROG START CLEAR (see section Covered distance from program start).
