CNC 5-Axis Collision Verification Checklist

A. Before Post-Process (in CAM)

CAM machine model matches the real machine (travel, spindle, table).Tool, holder, and extension are modeled (not just the cutting portion).Pivot / rotary center is calibrated in the CAM machine definition.Workpiece and fixture are included in the simulation.

B. Machine Simulation

Full machine simulation is run (not material removal only).No collisions: tool–workpiece, holder–workpiece, spindle–fixture, table–tool.No over-travel on linear or rotary axes.Extreme orientations checked (avoid singularity zones if relevant).

C. After Post-Process

G-code verified; axis mapping matches the machine controller.Rapid/approach moves do not pass through workpiece or fixture.Safe retract and home position are defined.

D. On the Machine (First Pass)

Dry run or single-block mode before production feed.Conservative feed override on the first pass.Operator ready to hit emergency stop.
