● Sphere or parallel sphere
● Cylinder or parallel cylinder
● Cone and parallel cone
● File or parallel 3D file
Note
Parallel protection area elements
You have the possibility of creating two protection area elements in parallel in a hierarchic level
of the tree structure. This means that parallel elements have the previous element as the same
origin.
To create two elements in parallel with one another at one level, use a "parallel" element.
If you create an additional protection area element, then this is shifted into the next level.
Preconditions
● A kinematic chain has been created
● The cursor is on a protection area (machine or tool protection area) or at a protection area
element.
Procedure
Attaching additional protection area elements
