July 2013 8.6 DCM – Dynamic Collision Monitoring 1481
The following parameters or columns with the appropriate input options are
available for modeling tool carriers:
Format of the CFT/CFX table:
Column Input Description
NR 0, 1, 2 ... Automatic line numbering
KEY CMO Defines a monitorable collision body in the
current kinematics sequence. This
machine element is described by the file
(table) referenced in the FILE column.
Trans Here a transformation of the indicated axis
(AXIS column) in the current kinematics
sequence by the value entered in the
COORD column is performed. This can be a
linear translation as well as a rotation about
an axis.
Cylinder The following parameters for the X, Y, Z,
AXIS, RADIUS, and HEIGHT columns define
a cylindrical object, starting from the
position of the previous translation,
rotation or defined machine axis. Starting
from this point, the cylinder is offset from
X, Y and Z, and defined in the direction of
the axis entered in AXIS, with radius
(RADIUS) and height (HEIGHT).
Cuboid The following parameters for the X, Y and Z
columns define a rectangular object,
starting from the position of the previous
translation, rotation or defined machine
axis. Starting from this point, the cuboid is
defined from a minimum point in X, Y and
Z, to a maximum point in the next line in X,
Y and Z, (as with the BLK definition in
conversational programming).
Only for tool carriers (*.cft/*.cfx table):
KEY Var Page 8 – 1483
VarParam Page 8 – 1483
AXIS X, Y, Z, A, B, C ... Entry of the axis designation for function
given in the KEY column (valid for the
MachAxis, Trans and TPXxx parameters in
the KEY column).
RADIUS E.g. 40 [mm] Entry of the radius for "Cylinder"-type
collision-monitored objects in the KEY
column.
HEIGHT E.g. 150 [mm] Entry of the height for "Cylinder"-type
collision-monitored objects in the KEY
column.
