Constant tool centre point

The programmed tool centre point (TCP) is kept constant by kinematic transformation when the tool is inclined. The resulting reduction in orthogonal distance to the tool surface is automatically included in 3D distance control.

Distance control is activated and deactivated in the NC program.

Notice

The distance control set distance must be identical to the tool length for kinematic transformation.

Tool length = set distance

Therefore, kinematic transformation can plan all movements within the dynamic conditions. Any deviation from this, e.g. due to height adjustment, will result in additional dynamic stress. In general, distance control can be modified online via the PLC interface, but kinematic transformation can then no longer be taken into account.
