Overview

Task

Mechanical collision of feed units whose motion ranges overlap is prevented by the axis collision monitoring function (collision monitoring). The motion ranges here run in parallel.

Characteristics

If a configurable limit is exceeded, the CNC generates an error message and the axes are stopped.

The collision monitoring function is used for gantry machines with linear drives with 2 or more slides or strut kinematic machines.

Parametrisation

The position monitor is configured for each individual axis in the axis parameter list. A complete list of parameters described in this document is contained in the chapter Parameters.

Mandatory note on references to other documents

For the sake of clarity, links to other documents and parameters are abbreviated, e.g. [PROG] for the Programming Manual or P-AXIS-00001 for an axis parameter.

For technical reasons, these links only function in the Online Help (HTML5, CHM) but not in pdf files since pdfs do not support cross-linking.
