12.32.6 Adaptation of the protection zone to the active tool
The size of protection zone can automatically be adapted to the active tool of an NC channel.
If the tool tip P protrudes out of the protection zone defined in the machine data the protection
zone is adapted in accordance with the tool offset data. If is adapted in such a way that the
protection zone is enlarged on the basis of the basic dimensions defined in the machine data
such that tool nose P is on the boundary of the protection zone.
With the general machine data MD 300* ”TO allowance” it is possible to enlarge the protection
zone till further. The tool offset allowance is calculated into all the coordinates in which the tool
offset value is not equal.
