The Distances parameters enable
you to define the Retract and Safety distances to approach and retract
from the part.
Retract distance
In the Clearance area, the tool turns to the final orientation
for the first cut. After the rotation, the tool performs a rapid
descent movement to the level specified by the Retract distance
parameter.
Safety distance
After the descent movement to the Retract distance level, the
tool starts the approach movement to the material. The approach
movement consists of two segments. The first segment is performed
with rapid feed up to the Entry
safety distance. From the Entry safety distance level,
the approach movement is performed with the cutting feed. Upon
retraction, the tool ascends to the Exit
safety distance.
Rapid retract
This option enables you to perform the retract movement with
rapid feed.
When this check box is not
selected, the tool moves to the Safety distance with the
feed defined as the Retract Rate parameter.
When this check box is selected,
the retract movement is performed with rapid feed.
