Monitoring the workspace of throughfeed machines (P-AXIS-00555)

P-AXIS-00555

Selecting the process for monitoring the workspace of throughfeed machines.

Description

This parameter influences the workspace monitor when workpieces are machined on a conveyor belt.

With throughfeed machines the tool should remain as close as possible to the end stop position defined in P-CHAN-00374 in order to exploit the workspace fully. In the event of a movement contrary to the belt direction, the control brakes the tool accordingly to prevent the position from being exceeded.

When contour elements are fed through in the opposite belt direction at a higher feed rate than the conveyor belt velocity, a check must be made whether the workspace is exited in the opposite conveyor belt direction. This requires a more complex check of the workspace and can be activated by this parameter.

Parameter

kenngr.conv_sync_optim

Data type

BOOLEAN

Data range

0: Simplified process with low computing time requirement. It is only suitable when the belt speed is significantly higher than the programmed feed rate.

1: The programmed contour is tested for collision. In this method, the tool travels to the required end stop position if possible.
