12.2 12.2 Automatic path segmentation
Function
Path segmentation
When punching or nibbling is active, SPP and SPN cause the total traversing distance
programmed for the path axes to be divided into a number of path sections of equal length
(equidistant path segmentation). Each path segment corresponds internally to a block.
Number of strokes
When punching is active, the first stroke is executed at the end of the first path segment. In
contrast, the first nibbling stroke is executed at the start of the first path segment. The
number of punching/nibbling strokes over the total traversing path is thus as follows:
Punching: Number of strokes = number of path segments
Nibbling: Number of strokes = number of path segments + 1
Auxiliary functions
Auxiliary functions are executed in the first of the generated blocks.
Programming
SPP=
or

Parameters
SPP Size of path section (maximum distance between strokes); modal
SPN Number of path sections per block; non-modal
