- If no interference avoidance vector exists
If the parallel pocket shown in the figure is to be machined, the
end-point vector of block 1 and the end-point vector of block 2 are
judged to interfere, and an attempt is made to calculate, as an
interference avoidance vector, the intersection vector of the
post-compensation path of block 1 and the post-compensation path of
block 3. In this case, because blocks 1 and 3 are parallel to each
other, no intersection exists. In this case, an alarm will occur
immediately before block 1 and the tool will stop.

If the circular pocket shown in the figure is to be machined, the
end-point vector of block 1 and the end-point vector of block 2 are
judged to interfere, and an attempt is made to calculate, as an
interference avoidance vector, the intersection vector of the
post-compensation path of block 1 and the post-compensation path of
block 3. In this case, because blocks 1 and 3 are circular, no
post-compensation intersection exists. In this case, an alarm will
occur immediately before block 1 and the tool will stop, as in the
previous example.
