184
When the radius of a corner is smaller than the beam radius, because the
inner offsetting of the cutter will result in overcuttings, an alarm is
displayed and the CNC stops at the start of the block. In single block
operation, the overcutting is generated because the beam is stopped after
the block execution.

An alarm is generated and
the operation stops here in
single block operation
If the CNC does not
stop, overcutting occurs
Since the cutter compensation forces the path of the center of the nozzle
to move in the reverse of the programmed direction, overcutting will
result. In this case an alarm is displayed and the CNC stops at the start of
the block.
