Tool-carrier kinematics
In the KINEMATIC column of the tool table TOOL.T you can assign each
tool with an additional tool carrier kinematic description.
In the simplest case, this carrier kinematics can simulate the taper
shank in order to include it in the dynamic collision monitoring. Also,
you can use this function to very easily integrate angle heads into the
complete machine kinematic description.
In the tool table, after you have pressed the SELECT KINEMATICS soft
key, the TNC shows a list of all available carrier kinematic descriptions.
The displayed list contains all carrier kinematic descriptions that your
machine tool builder has provided (TAB file format, located on the PLC
partition) and in addition carrier kinematic descriptions in file form CFX
that are saved in the TNC:\system\TOOLKINEMATICS directory. When
you select a carrier kinematic description in cfx format and assign it to
a tool, the TNC copies the carrier kinematic description from the TNC
partition to the PLC partition. At the same time, the TNC activates this
carrier kinematics description.
The TNC must be adapted by your machine tool builder to
be able to account for the tool carrier kinematics. In
particular, your machine tool builder must provide carrier
kinematic descriptions on the PLC partition or in the
TNC:\system\TOOLKINEMATICS
directory. Refer to your
machine manual.
Danger of collision!
If you change the carrier kinematics by editing in the cfx
file, you have to assign the carrier kinematics description in
the tool table to a tool again. During the selection process
the TNC converts the cfx file into an internal format and
activates the corrected carrier kinematic description.
