Probe cycle

1464
When entering the positions of the collision bodies, the values should be
entered in the X, Y and Z input fields under Position (as in the example in step
2). Additional transformations should not be used (as in this example using
Trans X and Trans Z in steps 3 and 4). The additional transformations result in
additional calculations during collision monitoring. This would unnecessarily
require computing power.
Along with the body of the fixture, you must also define the necessary probing
points and probing cycles for the operator to clearly and unambiguously
ascertain the position and orientation of the fixture. These points and cycles
are defined in KinematicsDesign when you model the fixture. You can choose
between various probing cycles (see format of the *.cft table).

Description
Designation or name of the object, used in
the fixture description.
Probing cycle of type: Datum in plane
Defines a manual probing cycle at this
point in the fixture kinematics. The type
prescribes which probing cycles are
available for selection while ascertaining
the position and orientation of the fixture.
Probing cycle of type: Datum in one axis
Defines a manual probing cycle at this
point in the fixture kinematics. The type
prescribes which probing cycles are
available for selection while ascertaining
the position and orientation of the fixture.
Probing cycle of type: Basic rotation
Defines a manual probing cycle at this
point in the fixture kinematics. The type
prescribes which probing cycles are
available for selection while ascertaining
the position and orientation of the fixture.
Probing cycle of type: Basic rotation with
corner
Defines a manual probing cycle at this
point in the fixture kinematics. The type
prescribes which probing cycles are
available for selection while ascertaining
the position and orientation of the fixture.
Probing cycle of type: Test point
Defines a manual probing cycle at this
point in the fixture kinematics. These
probing points are used when creating a
test program, see page 1475.
Name for the probing cycle. This name can
be used to access the results of the
probing cycle.
