Advanced checks in the simulation

Application

The Advanced checks function allows checking in the Simulation workspace if collisions occur between the workpiece and the tool or tool carrier.

Description of function

The Advanced checks function can be used only in the Editor operating mode.

The Advanced checks function can be activated by a toggle switch in the Visualization options column.

Visualization options column

  • If the Advanced checks function is active, the control generates a warning in the cases below:
  • Material removal at rapid traverse
  • The control displays material removal at rapid traverse in red in the simulation.

  • Collisions between the tool and the workpiece
  • Collisions between the tool holder and the workpiece
  • The control also considers inactive steps of a stepped tool.

Notes

  • The Advanced checks function helps reduce the danger of collision. However, the control cannot consider all possible constellations during operation.
  • The Advanced checks function in the simulation uses the information from the workpiece blank definition for workpiece monitoring. Even if several workpieces are clamped in the machine, the control can monitor only the active workpiece blank!
