5-axis Machining
We can see arcs in every tool path depth in the right side approach and only one
in the left side. This is because the gouge check sees that the tool will gouge to
the left wall and moves the tool along the vector of the tool center till this gouge
is finished. In this part all the paths move to a safe point (in the same point in
this part) and then adds the exit arc. The gouge algorithm and the Entry/Exit
algorithms protect the part from gouging.
12. Close the simulation.
13. Choose the Leaving out gouging points option in the Strategy field of the Gouge
check page.
14. Calculate and simulate the operation.
As you can see the arc is mirrored and moved
out from the corner and the part is gouge
protected.
