Collision avoidance (Rotary Parallel)

Fusion Manufacturing Extension

This feature is part of an extension. Extensions are a flexible way to access additional capabilities in Fusion. Learn more.

Use Collision Avoidance to automatically tilt the tool around the rotary axis to avoid collisions between the shaft or holder and the part. If the collision cannot be avoided with 4-axis motion, the colliding areas of the toolpath are trimmed away.

In the Tool tab, specify Shaft & Holder clearances so that collision avoidance can keep the tool clear from the part by the specified clearances.

In the animation below, a collision is highlighted between the tool holder and the part.

In the animation below, with Collision Avoidance selected, the tool tilts slightly so there is sufficient clearance between the tool holder and the part.
