4.2.5 Tool interference check
“Interference” is defined that the tool cuts workpiece excessively and it can find out
excessive cutting in advance, the interference check is executed even if the excessive
cutting is not created, but the system cannot find out all tool interferences.
(1) Fundamental conditions
1) The tool path direction is different that of program path (angle is 90°~270° ).
2) There is a big difference (α>180°) for two angles between starting point and end point of
tool nose center path, and between starting point and end point of program path.
Example: linear machining
