July 2013 8.6 DCM – Dynamic Collision Monitoring 1487
However, the variable tool carrier *.cft cannot yet be used for collision
monitoring. You must open the *.cft file with the Fixture Wizard, specify
values for all variables, and then save it as a *.cfx file. You can do this on the
PC or the control.
This *.cfx file can then be used as a tool-carrier kinematics description.
The advantage of such a variable template is that you specify the basic shape.
The operator can then use the FixtureWizard to define a multitude of tool
carriers whose basic shape is the same. Only dimensions that were created
as variables can be changed.
