10. WORKPIECE HOLDER INTERFERENCE
AVOIDANCE FUNCTION
167
If, during automatic operation, a positioning operation may cause the tool
area to interfere with the workpiece holder area, this function first moves
the tool along a non–interfering axis, which may be either the X–axis or
Y–axis, then moves the tool along the other axis, thus preventing the
occurrence of interference.
This avoidance operation is performed only when the avoid operation
signal ACZEXE (G232#6) is set to 1. So, if the tool does not interfere
with the workpiece holder, normal positioning can be used for machining
by setting the ACZEXE signal to 0.
