Y-axis holder positioning guidelines
Use a maximum of 2 in vertical gang, and do not install side by side to prevent interference issues
The workpiece and Y-axis holder may interfere with each other
Typical positioning is sandwiching them in gang
When moving from tool No. ② to ④ , program retraction position based on the amount of y-axis holder overhang.
To ensure clearance, so y-axis holder in tool position ③ does not crash into workpiece.
