obes (Option KinematicsOpt)
Prerequisites
The following are prerequisites for using the KinematicsOpt option:
„ The software options 48 (KinematicsOpt) and 8 (software option 1)
and FCL3 must be enabled.
„ The 3-D touch probe used for the measurement must be calibrated.
„ A calibration ball with an exactly known radius and sufficient rigidity
must be attached to some position on the machine table.
Calibrations balls can be purchase from various manufacturers of
measuring equipment
„ The kinematics description of the machine must be complete and
correct. The transformation values must be entered with an
accuracy of approx. 1 mm.
„ All rotary axes must be NC axes. KinematicsOpt does not support
measurement of manual axes
„ The complete machine geometry must be measured (by the
machine tool builder during commissioning)
„ Machine parameter MP6600 must define the tolerance limit starting
from which the TNC displays a note in the Optimizing mode when
the measured kinematic data is greater than this limit value (see
“KinematicsOpt: Tolerance limit in Optimization mode: MP6600” on
page 25).
„ Machine parameter MP6601 must define the maximum permissible
deviation from the entered cycle parameter by the calibration ball
radius measured in the cycles.(see “KinematicsOpt, permissible
deviation of the calibration ball radius: MP6601” on page 25)
