Angle of the following axis
The angle of the following axis with respect to the path tangent depends on the transformation
ratio specified in TANG(...), the offset angle parameterized in the machine data MD37402
$MA_TANG_OFFSET, and the offset angle specified for TANGON(...), which is applied
additively.
Optimization "P"
If the value "P" was specified as the optimization parameter in the definition of the tangential
coupling (TANG(...)), the parameter "rounding clearance" and optionally the parameter
"angular tolerance" must be set when coupling is activated.
If the value 0 is specified as the angular tolerance, only the parameter "rounding clearance" will
be active.
If a value greater than 0 is specified as the angular tolerance, the active rounding clearance
results from the minimum of the parameterized rounding clearance and the rounding clearance
based on the parameterized angular tolerance.
If the dynamic response of the following axis is not sufficient to follow the parameterized
conditions, the path velocity of the leading axes will be reduced accordingly.
Syntax
TANGON(<following axis>, <offset angle>, <rounding clearance>,
<angular tolerance>)
Meaning
TANGON(...): Activate tangential coupling
<following axis>: Axis name of the following axis (rotary axis)
Data type: AXIS
Range of values: Channel axis names
<offset angle>: Offset angle of following axis with respect to the path tangent
The reference point is the zero point of the rotary axis.
Data type: REAL
<rounding clearance>: Maximum permissible rounding clearance
If the rounding clearance is increased due to the dynamic conditions, the
path velocity of the leading axes is reduced.
Data type: REAL
<angular tolerance>: Maximum permissible tolerance with respect to the specified angle be‐
tween the following axis zero setting and the path tangent
Data type: REAL
