SURFACE and five-axis machining 1: — Path velocity with linear blocks and perpendicularly oriented tool

The feed rate fluctuates significantly due to the inconsistency of the rotary axis.

SURFACE and five-axis machining 2: — Path velocity with spline curve and perpendicularly oriented tool

When the spline function is enabled, the path velocity is constant. The programmed path velocity cannot be reached due to the limited rotation speed of the orientation axis. In addition, since the motion part of the rotary axis cannot change due to the constant contour curvature, the velocity level on the path can be kept constant.
