5.4.6 Interference Check
Tool overcutting is called interference. The interference check
function checks for tool overcutting in advance. However, all
interference cannot be checked by this function. The interference
check is performed even if overcutting does not occur.
Explanation
- Condition under which an interference check is possible
To perform an interference check, it is necessary to read at least three
blocks with tool movement. If, therefore, three or more blocks with
tool movement cannot be read in offset mode because blocks without
tool movement, such as independent auxiliary function and dwell, are
specified in succession, excessive or insufficient cutting may occur
because an interference check fails. Assuming the number of blocks
to read in offset mode, which is determined by parameter (No. 19625),
to be N and the number of commands in those N blocks without tool
movement that have been read to be M, the condition under which an
interference check is possible is
(N - 3) ≥ M.
For example, if the maximum number of blocks to read in offset mode
is 8, an interference check is possible even if up to five blocks without
tool movement are specified. In this case, three adjacent blocks can
be checked for interference, but any subsequent interference that may
occur cannot be detected.
- Interference check method
Two interference check methods are available, direction check and
circular angle check. Parameter CNC (No. 5008#1) and parameter
CNV (No. 5008#3) are used to specify whether to enable these
methods.
CNV CNC Operation
0 0 An interference check is enabled, and a direction check
and a circular angle check can be performed.
0 1 An interference check is enabled, and only a circular
angle check is performed.
1 – An interference check is disabled.
NOTE
There are no settings for performing a direction
check only.
