Collision Monitoring In The Manual Operating Modes - HEIDENHAIN ITNC 530 User Manual

2.6 Dynamic Collision Monitoring
(Software Option)
Function
The Dynamic Collision Monitoring DCM must be adapted
by the machine manufacturer for the TNC and for the
machine. Refer to your machine manual.
The machine manufacturer can define any objects that are monitored
by the TNC during all machining operations. If two objects monitored
for collision approach each other within a defined distance, the TNC
outputs an error message.
The TNC also monitors the current tool with the length and radius
entered in the tool table for collision (assuming a cylindrical tool).
Please note that for certain tools (such as face milling
cutters), the diameter that would cause a diameter can be
greater than the dimensions defined in the tool-
compensation data.
The dynamic collision monitoring is active in all machine operating
modes, and is indicated by a symbol in the operating mode display.
Collision monitoring in the manual operating
modes
In the Manual and El. Handwheel operating modes, the TNC stops a
motion if two objects monitored for collision approach each other
within a specified distance. In addition, the TNC reduces the feed rate
significantly when the distance to the limit value triggering the error is
less than 5 mm.
There are three zones determining the TNC's corrective behavior:
Early warning: Two objects monitored for collision are within 14 mm
of each other
Warning: Two objects monitored for collision are within 8 mm of
each other
Error: Two objects monitored for collision are within 2 mm of each
other
