Whenever the tool has to traverse to a new cut region or a new profiling pass, the software will ensure that the traversal motions generated are free from collisions with the current in-process workpiece. For such traversals, you can define the minimum distance between tool path and in-process workpiece in the Minimum Clearance Parameters. The system explicitly distinguishes between faces and diameters in these traversal movements. The system also applies collision avoidance to those traversal motions required for stepover from one rough cut to the next.</p>
