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:

Select any machine operating mode

Select the tool table: Press the TOOL TABLE soft key

Set the EDIT soft key to ON

Select the last soft key row

Show the list of available kinematics: The TNC

displays all tool carrier kinematics (.TAB files) and all
tool carrier kinematics you have already
parameterized (.CFX files). In addition, the selection
window shows a preview of the currently active
carrier kinematics

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.

management in combination with Dynamic Collision
Monitoring (DCM): See "Tool carrier management (DCM
software option)" on page 376.
