this is no problem because the axes maintain their synchronization even though they are lagging behind the commanded position. In addition, for gradual contours, the change in axes speed from one block to the next is so gradual that the tool path is still acceptable. However, during high-speed machining of corners this factor becomes a problem so that it is necessary to make programming adjustments to avoid errors in the tool path.
