Motion Between Passes | GO2cam Help Center

Cycle: Facing Pocket

Definition

Motion between passes determines the type of links between the passes; it is available only if the toolpath is a zigzag, (if Machining direction is set to 'Optimized').

This option is not accessible if the machining direction (down or conventional) is forced.

Direct is the shortest distance between the passes, it is changing according to the geometry,
Arcs can be programmed in feedrate or rapid (Fmax)
Segments in feedrate or rapid (Fmax).

The different options available in GO2cam

Motion Direct

Direct

The path follows the shape of the part in feedrate.

Motion with an arc

	Arc feedrate	The path between 2 passes is an arc programmed in feedrate
	Arc rapid	The path between 2 passes is an arc programmed in Fmax speed.

Motion with a segment

	Segment feedrate	The path between 2 passes is a segment programmed in feedrate.
	Segment rapid	The path between 2 passes is a segment programmed in Fmax speed.
