When two tool posts machine the same workpiece simultaneously, the
tool posts can approach each other very closely. If the two tool posts
interfere with each other due to a program error or any other setting error,
serious damage such as a tool or machine destruction can occur.
The function “tool post interference check” is available to decelerate and
stop the two tool posts before they interfere with each other.
