General
information
With the iTNC 530 HSCI, the "DCM – Dynamic Collision Monitoring" function
(option 40, ID 526 452-01) can be used to integrate collision monitoring for
various machine elements via the kinematics tables.
You use DCM to define objects (CMOs – "Collision Monitored Objects") within
the kinematics description in relation to movable machine axes (X, Y, Z, A, B,
C), as they appear on the machine as spatial objects or machine elements.
These objects give a three-dimensional image of the machine.
These CMOs, including the current tool, an assigned, optional tool-carrier
kinematics description and an optional fixture whose position and
orientation have been ascertained, are then taken into account along with the
motions of the machine. The active tool is automatically integrated at the tool
reference point as a cylindrical object with the dimensions from the tool table.
If there is a danger of collision between defined objects, or between the tool
and defined objects, then the motions of the machine are stopped, the
collision is avoided, and a collision warning or error message is output in the
header of the iTNC530 screen. The machine’s axes can then only be moved
out of the danger zone by acknowledging the collision monitoring or by
switching it off.
The Screen Layout key and the PROGRAM + KINEMATIC soft key enable you to
display 3-D graphics of the collision objects defined in your machine in the
Program Run operating modes. The viewer of the KinematicsDesign tool is
used for this. However, the collision objects of the machine are only displayed
and cannot be edited. Software option 40 is required for this feature.
