Overview

Task

This function limits the TCP (tool centre point) velocity of any kinematic to a maximum value. The function is used, for example, with industrial robots that are equipped with the T1 operation mode according to EN ISO 10218-1. This allows operators to enter the robot workspace in order to carry out set-up work.

If set-up work is carried out with a CNC that controls the robot, the operator can limit the TCP velocity to a non-hazardous value.

Properties

The function is independent of the kinematic used in the NC program. The TCP velocity limit of a kinematic is enabled and disabled via the HLI of the CNC before program start or even during operation.

This function is available as of CNC Build V3.1.3079.26.

Parameterisation
