Collision Avoidance

Collision Avoidance is performed as part of sequence optimization.

Move Leads On Holes

Leadin placement is adjust on holes and internal cutouts so that the internal cut finishes as close as possible to the start on the next cut.

 

 

Conditional Head Retract

Some machines support selective head retract, whereby the head can be kept down for small rapid moves to save time.  The head will always retract between parts.  The following settings determine whwn the head can stay down:

Head Collision Radius

If a rapid centerline comes within this distance of an existing cut, the torch will raise for the rapid.

Head Collision Max Rapid

If a rapid exceeds this distance, the torch will raise for the rapid.
