Automatic contouring with maximum corner deviation (Type 1)

Corner distance is automatically determined and is the same for pre-block and post-block. For determining an estimated value for the required corner distance, the maximum spatial acceleration of the axis data and the desired (programmed) traversing velocity are included.

Corner distance is dimensioned according to the following boundary conditions :

This proceeding is qualified for:

#CONTOUR MODE [ AUTO_DEV [PATH_DEV<expr>] [RELEVANT_PATH<expr>]
[RELEVANT_TRACK<expr>] [TRACK_DEV<expr>] [REMAIN_PART<expr>]
[<action>] [CHECK_JERK<expr>] [MAX_ANGLE<expr>] [CONST_VEL<expr>]]

AUTO_DEV Automatic contouring with maximum corner deviation

PATH_DEV<expr> Maximum deviation from programmed contour in mm

Default value: 1 mm

RELEVANT_PATH<expr> Minimum path length of relevant post-blocks in mm

Default value: 0 mm

RELEVANT_TRACK<expr> Minimum path length of tracking axis for relevant post blocks in mm.

Default value: 0 mm

TRACK_DEV<expr> Maximum deviation of the coupled axes in mm

Default value: 1 mm

REMAIN_PART<expr> Remaining part in percent [0; 100] of the original block

Default value: 0 %

<action> Time of execution for additional actions:

Valid key words

Significance

PRE_ACTION

Execution before the contour curve.

INTER_ACTION

Execution during the contour curve (default).

POST_ACTION

Execution after the contour curve.

CHECK_JERK<expr> Monitoring of jerk, caused by the curvature of the polynomic (see [1]-41).

Value

Significance

0

Without jerk monitoring (default).

1

Jerk monitoring based on the geometric ramp time [2]-16. Possibly the path velocity is reduced.

2

Jerk monitoring based on the ramp times[2]- 21..24 of the non-linear velocity profile.

MAX_ANGLE<expr> Maximum contour angle for transitions between two linear blocks in degrees, up to it contouring is active. The contour angle is not considered, if one of the transition blocks is a circular block.

Default value: 0° (this means, all path elements are contoured)

Automatic contouring with maximum corner deviation (Type 1) 1:

CONST_VEL<expr> Constant path velocity in the contouring area.
