Variables For the flexible definition of fixtures, KinematicsDesign offers the possibility of
creating variables for fixture kinematics. These are used for the insertion of the
fixture (ascertaining its position and orientation), or for variable length
information, for example.
Input possibilities for variables:
Entry Input Description
Description
(DOC)
Any text Object designation used in the fixture
description.
Type
(KEY)
VarEntry Variable of the type: Manual input field
Defines a number variable, whose value
must be entered when inserting the
workpiece via the control's user interface.
The value can be changed by the operator
without FixtureWizard and without
ascertaining the position and orientation of
the workpiece again (e.g., the distance
between jaws changes, but the vise
remains at the same position on the table).
VarTp Variable of the type: Manual probing cycle
Defines a number variable, whose value is
determined by a probing cycle when
ascertaining the position and orientation of
the fixture.
Var Variable of the type: Miscellaneous
variable
Defines a miscellaneous variable that can
be used with the fixture kinematics, e.g.
for the buffering of values. Value
assignment by the operator not possible.
VarParam Variable of the type: Wizard parameter
Defines a number variable in which a value
can be entered in the FixtureWizard
(e.g. variable distance between jaws).
Name
(NAME)
Any text Name of the variable with which it can be
addressed.
Value
(VALUE)
Numerical value Value of the variable as a number or a
formula for calculation.
Function
(FUNC)
Function Function for determining the value of a
variable from a manual probing cycle (only
for VarTp).
Format
(SUBTYPE)
Position value Format of a variable with manual input field
(only for VarEntry, VarParam):
Length: Linear value in [mm] or [inches]
Angle: Angular value in degrees [°]
Integer: Numeration type, only permits
whole numbers
Bool: Logical value, active/inactive through
