Movement path - Safe velocity: The backgauge moves around the danger zone at the programmed speed (50 mm behind and above the tool). The backgauge will move forwards in a final step (X axis)The backgauge will move at reduced speed when the distance between the gauge finger and the tool is less than 50 mm.

Safe path: The backgauge moves around the danger zone at the programmed speed (50 mm behind and above the tool)The backgauge will move downwards in a final step (R axis). All axes move at the programmed speed.
