Air Motions

Define the speed of air motions (connection motions) between cutting regions within a procedure.

Rapid

Move the tool at the Rapid rate to a safe Z height in a bounding box between the points connecting cutting regions within a procedure.

The Rapid rate is translated to G00 blocks in the Post. Rapid motions are checked for collisions throughout the bounding box defined by the start and end points.

Max. Feed

Move the tool at the Max. Feed rate entered in the parameter Air Motions Feed, to a safe Z height along the line connecting cutting regions within a procedure.

The Max. Feed rate is translated to G01 blocks in the Post. Feed motions are checked for collisions only along the route from the start to the end point.

When Max. Feed is selected, the parameter Air Motions Max. Feed is displayed.

Air Motions Max. Feed

Enter the Feed rate at which the tool moves to a safe Z height.

This parameter is displayed when Max. Feed is selected as the Air Motions speed.

Note: The output to the post processor is controlled through the Preferences.
