During tracking operation the offset of the orientation of the tracking axis to the first contour element at the moment of activation stays constant! To reach a tangential orientation of the tracking axis to the first contour element, this compensation movement must be programmed

1

During activation the tracking axis is orientated automatically tangential to the first contour element. No compensation movement must be programmed.
