5th axis tilt and linear positioning in same line

[imagine]

Hello-

It's my first time posting! This forum has been such a huge help in the past and I'm hoping it can continue. I want my 5ax machines to move in both "X" / "Y" and "B" / "C" at the same line, once at the clearance plane, then got to the retract/feed plane. I have had some situations that I believe it would be a safer move then moving the "B" / "C" in one line "X" / "Y" in the next line, as it is currently posting out. I frequently tip "B" past 90° and don't always account for how much higher the trunnion can be when you make that type of rotational move, but when the tool follows the part it wont sit over the body of the trunnion. I'm posting using the Haas and Fanuc generic posts.

Thanks - SFG
