July 2013 8.6 DCM – Dynamic Collision Monitoring 1465
Using the probing cycle, the operator inserts the fixture at the prescribed
insertion point (CLAMP) in the kinematics. Only once the exact position and
orientation of the fixture have been ascertained can it then effectively be
monitored for collisions.
Insertion of a corresponding probing cycle necessitates additional
amendments to the fixture kinematics. These amendments are necessary in
order for the results of the probing cycle to be included in the fixture
kinematics. For example, variable translations or rotations that shift the fixture
in the kinematics, depending on the results from the probing cycle, must be
inserted.
Proceed as follows to insert a probing cycle into the fixture kinematics:
Insert the appropriate probing cycle at the corresponding location in the
fixture kinematics. Specify the necessary values.
At the beginning of the fixture kinematics, define variables of the type
manual probing cycle. In the Function entry you specify which result from
the probing cycle will be loaded in to the variable, see page 1469. The
variable is addressed under the name given in the Name entry
(e.g. TouchedX).
After the variables, but before the actual fixture kinematics, insert variable
transformations or rotations. These values are determined through the
probing cycle, and are then available as variables (e.g. TouchedX).
Axis
(AXIS)
Axis identifier Indication of the main axis for the probing
cycle.
X, Y, Z Position value Entry of the position at which the fixture is
to be probed.
Label text
(LABELID)
Any text Entry of a plain-language name or text ID.
Is displayed for the operator as an
additional aid when inserting the fixture.
Tilt angles
(SPA, SPB,
SPC)
Tilting angles in
the coordinate
system of the
fixture
Only for probing cycles of type: Test point
(TpCheck). Entry of a tilting angle (spatial)
in the coordinate system of the fixture. The
tilting angle must be used if a test point
cannot be probed without tilting. In that
case, the test program automatically tilts
the coordinate system for this test point.
The tilt angle is only active for this test
point. It is automatically reset after
probing.
