AUTO COLLISION AVOIDANCE FUNCTION (15–TTFB ONLY)
The auto collision avoidance function makes use of the interference check
according to animated simulation function.
The auto collision avoidance function is a function to automatically alter
the program which can evade that interference if the turrets interfere each
other in the simulation according to the animation drawing.
Basically, this function automatically edits the NC program which is
programmed at FAPT side to evade the interference of the turrets. Refer
to the next explanation at the time of the use actually because it happens
that it is not possible to edit correctly in some case.
