11.2 Dynamic Collision Monitoring
(software option)
Function
The machine manufacturer can define any objects that are monitored 
by the TNC during all machining operations and even in the Test Run 
mode. If two objects monitored for collision come within a defined 
distance of each other, the TNC outputs an error message during test 
run and machining. 
The TNC can display the defined collision objects graphically in all 
machining modes and during test run (see "Graphic depiction of the 
protected space (FCL4 function)" on page 357).
The TNC also monitors the current tool with the length and radius 
entered in the tool table for collision (assuming a cylindrical tool). TNC 
likewise monitors the stepped tool according to the definition in the 
tool table and also displays it accordingly. 
Provided that you have defined a separate tool holder kinematic 
description for the respective tool, including a collision body 
description, and have assigned it to the tool in the KINEMATIC 
column, the TNC monitors this tool holder also (see "Tool-carrier 
kinematics" on page 183).
Also, you can integrate simple fixtures in the collision monitoring (see 
"Fixture monitoring (DCM software option)" on page 359).
The Dynamic Collision Monitoring (DCM) must be 
adapted by the machine manufacturer for the TNC and for 
the machine. Refer to your machine manual.
