10.5.3 Tilting tool away with max angle
If control by tilting tool away with max. angle is selected, then the gouge is avoided by tilting the tool.
Below you can see the options that are given with the option with tilting tool away with max. angle to
prevent gouging:
The gouge checking requires a lot of computing time. So the best approach is to use limit angles, tilt
angles etc. to create a gouge free tool path and use the gouge checking find and report option just to
prove that there are no gouges.
This main parameter contains a std vector of 4 independent collision control operations where each
of them can be defined individually by the user.
Parameters
Use side tilt angle:
The tool tilts horizontally with a 65 degrees angle orthogonal to the surface normal.
