• Retraction with position patterns:
When working with optimized retraction , the tool travels in
relation to the contour across the workpiece at machining feedrate
and safety clearance (SC). On retraction to RP , the tool is
retracted to the retraction plane when the machining step is
complete and infeeds at the new position. Collisions with
workpiece obstacles are thus prevented when the tool is retracted
and fed in, e.g. when holes in pockets or grooves are machined at
different levels and positions.
