Figure 18-15 Differences between KONTT and KONTC

The figure shows that a straight line bordering on the contour quadrant, e.g. to X20 Y-20, would

be violated with KONTC on retraction/approach to X0, Y0.

Smooth approach and retraction

The SAR (Smooth Approach and Retraction) function is used to achieve a tangential approach

to the start point of a contour, regardless of the position of the start point.

The approach behavior can be varied and adapted to special needs using a range of additional

The two functions, smooth approach and smooth retraction, are largely symmetrical. The

following section is, therefore, restricted to a detailed description of approach; special

reference is made to differences affecting retraction.
