Transverse axes
If a geometry axis is defined as a transverse axis and radius programming is selected
(MD20100 $MC_DIAMETER_AX_DEF (geometry axes with transverse-axis functions)),
the following features should be observed when traversing in JOG:
● Continuous travel:
● Incremental travel:
● Traversing with the handwheel:

There are no differences when a transverse axis is traversed continuously.
Only half the distance of the selected increment size is traversed. For example, with
INC10 the axis only traverses 5 increments when the traversing key is pressed.
As for incremental travel, with the handwheel only half the distance is traversed per
handwheel pulse.
