Consider Remaining Stock

This parameter appears in Finish, Cleanup and Pencil procedures and enables you to define whether or not to consider the remaining stock information before generating tool motions. Remaining stock is used to control the approach and retract motions and the air motion height.

Yes

Calculate the remaining stock before generating tool motions. This causes the procedure to be suspended if there are changes in one of the previous procedures.

No

The remaining stock is not considered and previous procedures are ignored. When deciding not to consider the remaining stock information, this enables you to:

  • calculate these procedures without using any remaining stock information.

  • avoid recalculating remaining stock information if it has no influence on the generated tool motions:

  • avoid recalculating the procedure if there was a change in the tool motions before it (if the remaining stock information has no influence on the generated tool motions).

  • use the Part and Check surfaces as the remaining stock information.

Faces Offset

The remaining stock is not considered and previous machining is ignored.

The procedure performs a collision check of the Holder, approach/retract motions and air motions against a virtual stock defined as an offset from the selected Part and Check faces.

This enables you to:

  • save calculation time

  • prevent automatic recalculation if a previous procedure(s) is changed.

The Faces Offset parameter is displayed:

Faces Offset

Set the offset to be used together with the Part and Check surfaces as the remaining stock information.
