Two safety features integrated into CNC software. - Leaving Cert Engineering - Question (ii) - 2014

1. Simulation of Cutting Action: CNC software can be programmed to simulate the cutting action before actual machining begins. This feature allows operators to visualize the entire process and identify potential issues or collisions, ensuring safety by preventing accidents prior to execution.

2. Prevention of Tool Crashing: The software can be designed to prevent the cutting tool from crashing into the chuck by implementing safety protocols that restrict movement when obstacles are detected. This helps to protect both the machinery and the operators from possible harm.
