Example Boundary Check

Coping machining with a steeply angled tool.

Tool tip boundary check

There is the risk of a collision (1) between the tool shank and the milling boundary (2) if the tool plunges into the unmachined area (3).

Example of a tool tip boundary check

The “Tool tip” setting ensures that the tool retracts to the clearance level (4) during the calculation to prevent a collision (1) with the milling boundary. This results in unmachined areas (3). Collision message if groove depth is too large.

Example of tool shank boundary check

The “Shank” setting allows hyperDENT to determine that the milling boundary is not large enough, issue a message, and automatically extend the milling boundaries in the case of tilted machining.

After the milling boundary (2) has been extended, the area (3) can also be machined correctly.
