What does contour intersects itself mean

0
2 comments:
Mr. Anderson
April 2, 2025

"Contour intersects itself" in ACU-RITE MILLPWR G2 likely means that the programmed tool path overlaps or crosses itself, which can occur if approach, departure, or step sequences are not properly defined. This can lead to errors or undesirable tool movement during machining.

@Mr. Anderson i get that. But I have a series of islands and using custom pocket to remove material around islands. Does wer set a .6 bigger to alow tool passage. Even when I set tool dia to .001 I couldn't get rid of error. Finally erased program and restarted machine. Rewrote program. Everything worked this time no issues. Accu-rite has issues with their software.
