Saw blade with TCP function
When parameter HD20 is activated, kinematic transformation can be used to calculate TCP offsets dependent on the target angle A of the cardanic head. This is required to program the correct cutting depth of the saw blade when A != 0. The TCP is then located at the lowest point of the saw blade.
Set the target angle A in parameter HD19.
After target angle A != 0 is approached, the TCP is located at the bottom of the point at minimum distance to the workpiece surface as shown in the figure (when A is in zero position, the TCP is located on the right of the saw blade in X direction)
HD offset | param[i] | Description |
HD19 | 18 | Target angle A of head for saw machining |
HD20 | 19 | Control flag: 0: Default, cardanic transformation for milling 2: Cardanic transformation with TCP on saw blade
When the kinematic is activated, the required tool offsets are calculated depending on the saw blade radius and target angle A. In the target angle position A != 0, the TCP is located at the lowest point on the saw blade (generally at minimum distance to the workpiece). |
