FB_ClampTableGenerator

Implements a calculation algorithm for a standard clamp mechanism.

	Names of the dimension designations in the sketch The dimension designations are the same as the names of the properties of the class to be configured.

Syntax:

FUNCTION_BLOCK FB_ClampTableGenerator EXTENDS FB_TrafoTableGenerator

Properties

Name	Type	Access	Description
LookUp	I_CammingLookUp	Get, Set	Interface to the table to be written
AsymHalf	I_ClampTableGenerator_Half	Get	Interface to an asymmetrical half of the clamp. Notice If this property is called at least once, the class switches to asymmetrical operation mode.
BaseDistance	LREAL	Get, Set	Distance between the two stationary bearing points in the center of the mechanism.
BaseHeight	LREAL	Get, Set	Height of the fixed center of the mechanism to the flange point of the motor. Optional if `DriveArm` and `LoadArm` are aligned in the closed position.
DriveArm	LREAL	Get, Set	Lever arm attached to the drive.
LoadArm	LREAL	Get, Set	Transfer arm to the tool arms.
ToolArmAngle	LREAL	Get, Set	Internal angle between the two parts of the side tool arm.
ToolArm_1	LREAL	Get, Set	Lower part of the lateral tool arm.
ToolArm_2	LREAL	Get, Set	Upper part of the lateral tool arm.
ToolArm_3	LREAL	Get, Set	Horizontal tool arm.
ToolJointHeight	LREAL	Get, Set	Height of the anchor point (joint) of the tool mounted in the direction of movement. Optional if `ToolArm_3` remains almost horizontal.
ToolJointOffset	LREAL	Get, Set	Offset of the tool clamping surface to the anchor point mounted in the direction of movement. In the recommended configuration of this parameter, the transformation results in the distance between the tool clamping surfaces. To use the distance of the tool opening, it is recommended to use the core function `ToolAdaption` .
DriveHighEnd	LREAL	Get, Set	Upper limit of the drive position.
DriveLowEnd	LREAL	Get, Set	Lower limit of the drive position.
DriveStep	LREAL	Get	Step size of the drive positions.
ParamValid	BOOL	Get	The set parameters have valid values.
Points	INT	Get, Set	Number of points to be defined.
