Configuration files

The SysCalibConfigLaser.nc file must be present in the form of a subroutine. It contains the laser parameters. Laser position data can be detected using the calibration cycle. The files SysCalibConfigLaserOn.nc and SysCalibConfigLaserOff.nc control how the laser is switched on and off:

The 3 files must be present and configured before use, otherwise the cycles cannot run.

  1. SysCalibConfigLaser.nc
  2. SysCalibConfigLaserOn.nc
  3. SysCalibConfigLaserOff.nc

The following items are required to successfully configure the laser system:

The SysCalibConfigLaser.nc file must be present in the form of a subroutine. It contains the laser parameters. Laser position data can be detected using the calibration cycle.

Variable

Description

V.CYC.LASER_BRAKEOFFSET_FAST

Return clearance for fast measurement

V.CYC.LASER_BRAKEOFFSET

Return clearance for precision measurement

V.CYC.MEAS_FEED_FAST

Measuring feed for fast measurement

V.CYC.MEAS_FEED_SLOW

Measuring feed for precision measurement

V.CYC.MEAS_MODE

Mode 0 = push (default), 1 = pull

V.CYC.CLEANING_FEED

Feed during cleaning

V.CYC.MAX_TOOL_DIAMETER

Maximum permitted tool diameter

V.CYC.DIRECTION

Definition of measuring and positioning direction:

0- Measurement takes place in X- direction

1- Measurement takes place in Y- direction

2- Measurement takes place in X+ direction

3- Measurement takes place in Y+ direction

V.CYC.LASER_POS_X

Position of the laser focal point in the X axis

V.CYC.LASER_POS_Y

Position of the laser focal point in the Y axis

V.CYC.LASER_POS_Z

Position of the laser focal point in the Z axis

V.CYC.LASER_Z_START_POS

Start point of first measurement in Z.

V.CYC.LASER_Z_END_POS

End point of first measurement in Z.

For example, the configuration file SysCalibConfigLaser.nc may look like this:

Depending on the parameters, a machine stop is executed in the event of a tool breakage or a warning with the error message P-ERR-13461 is output.

If wear exceeds the specified tolerance, the machine is stopped depending on the parameters or a warning with the error message P-ERR-13450 is output.
