Transformation parameters of the tool

The tool parameters can be managed in the CNC or in an external tool management system (e.g. in the PLC). If the tool parameters are managed in the CNC, i.e. the channel parameter ext_wzv_vorhanden = 0 (see P-CHAN-00016) is set, the tab “Tool Para” and the tool parameter list are available in the TwinCAT3 project.

Tool parameterisation example

For parameterisation in the tool list, see P-TOOL-00009

wz[5].kinematic.param[0] 1538000   # Head offset 1: 153.8 mm

wz[5].kinematic.param[1]   25000   # Head offset 2: 2.5 mm

wz[5].kinematic.param[2]       0   # Head offset 3: 0 mm

wz[5].kinematic.param[5] 900000   # Head offset 6; 90 mm

The kinematic parameters of the tool can only be specified for default step = 0.

Kinematic parameters

Description

These parameters are used for tool-dependent parameterisation of kinematic transformation (RTCP / TLC / TOOL ORI CS [PROG]). Assignment is defined application-specific.

Parameter

wz[i].kinematic.param[j] where j = 0 … 74 (maximum number of kinematic parameters,
application-specific, syntax as of V263 and higher)

Data type

SGN32

Data range

MIN(SGN32) < param[j] < MAX(SGN32)

Dimension

0.1µm

Default value

0

Remarks

wz[i].kinematic.wz_kopf_versatz[j] (Syntax up to V260)

 

In addition, it is possible to enter offsets for every kinematic parameter in the channel parameters P-CHAN-00094. If an element is assigned in both lists, the CNC performs an addition of the specified values.

For more details regarding the parameterisation of kinematic transformation for 5-axis machining, see [KITRA] and [PROG].
