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 machine 
kinematic description.
Assigning the tool-carrier kinematics
Follow the procedure below to assign carrier kinematics to a tool:
U
Select any machine operating mode
U
Select the tool table: Press the TOOL TABLE soft key
U
Set the EDIT soft key to ON
U
Select the last soft key row.
U
Show the list of available kinematics: The TNC
displays all tool holder kinematics (.TAB files) and all 
tool-holder kinematics you have already 
parameterized (.CFX files). In addition, the selection 
window shows a preview of the currently active 
carrier kinematics
U
Select the desired kinematics configuration with the
arrow keys and confirm your selection with the OK 
key.
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 the 
corresponding carrier kinematics or parameterizable tool 
carriers. Refer to your machine manual.
HEIDENHAIN provides tool-carrier kinematics 
for HEIDENHAIN touch probes. If required, please 
contact HEIDENHAIN.
Please also note the information on tool-carrier 
management in combination with Dynamic Collision 
Monitoring (DCM): See “Tool Holder Management (DCM 
Software Option)” on page 366.
