Function
The SAR (Smooth Approach and Retraction) function is used to achieve a tangential
approach to the start point of a contour, regardless of the position of the start point.
This function is used preferably in conjunction with the tool radius compensation, but this is
not mandatory.
The approach and retraction movement consists of a maximum of four sub-movements:
•
Start point of the movement P
•
Intermediate points P
•
End point P
Points P
according to the parameters defined and the geometrical conditions.
