HEIDENHAIN iTNC 530 HSCI - Defining Insertion Points

1456 HEIDENHAIN Technical Manual iTNC 530 HSCI
Defining insertion
points
As OEM, you must define the location point or the location points of the
machine kinematics at which a fixture can be inserted. The keyword Clamp
was introduced for this purpose. The keyword Clamp in the column KEY of the
kinematics table identifies the locations at which fixtures can be inserted. The
entry in the corresponding DOC column is displayed as a dialog when the fixture
is inserted.
Also, you must specify a file name for a *.tab file in the column FILE. In this
file, the control saves a path to a *.tab file in the directory PLC:\Fixture. After
the fixture has been inserted and its position and orientation ascertained, this
file contains all data relevant for collision monitoring, if the user has assigned
values to all open variables of the fixture.
You must also create the tab file for the entry in FILE. The file must be of the
prototype CLAMP.TAB.
