12.18.5 Curve-gearbox interpolation (CGI) (SW 4 and higher)
The "Curve-gearbox interpolation" function is available as an option.
12.18.5.1 General
The curve-gearbox interpolation option allows an IKA curve to be overlaid on a following axis
involved in a gearbox interpolation grouping of the type available to date. The IKA curve (see
IKA description) is stored in the control in the form of a table. This function can be used, for
example, to machine non-circular geometries. A CGI cannot be implemented without the
IKA function.
12.18.5.2 Functional description
In contrast to the gearbox interpolation (GI link branches) which operates with a constant link
factor (LF), the IKA implements a fully optional curve-gearbox interpolation (IKA link branches)
by means of a tabulated control curve (diagram below).
