    8.4. Backgauge With the backgauge finger dimensions the R-axis movement and related X-axes movement is taken into account. Also the workpiece / backgauge collision is computed using the dimensions. Gauge R offset An offset value for the R-axis can be set if the backgauge is positioned against the sheet edge and the X-axis position is outside the die safety zone.
