NON RTCP POST FOR SIEMENS SINUMERIK

[atdemo2019]

HI AUTODESK,

WE HAVE A 5 AXIS MACHINE WHICH IS NON-RTCP.

THE CONTROLLER IS SIEMENS SINUMERIK.

WE GAVE PIVOT LENGTH IN MACHINE CONFIGURATION.

BUT WE NEED TO KNOW WHERE TO GIVE THE TOOL GAUGE LENGTH IN THE MACHINE CONFIGURATION.

WE TRIED, BUT WE DIDN'T GET THE SOLUTION.

KINDLY GIVE A SOLUTION IF ANYBODY KNOWS....

THANKS IN ADVANCE......

For Non TCP machine, you have to disable TCP, define pivot values in the machine definition, and modify the post to include the setting "compensateToolLength  : true" in workPlaneMethod as shown below to compensate for tool length::

  workPlaneMethod: {
    useTiltedWorkplane    : true, // specifies that tilted workplanes should be used (ie. G68.2, G254, PLANE SPATIAL, CYCLE800), can be overwritten by property
    eulerConvention       : undefined, // specifies the euler convention (ie EULER_XYZ_R), set to undefined to use machine angles for TWP commands ('undefined' requires machine configuration)
    eulerCalculationMethod: "standard", // ('standard' / 'machine') 'machine' adjusts euler angles to match the machines ABC orientation, machine configuration required
    cancelTiltFirst       : false, // cancel tilted workplane prior to WCS (G54-G59) blocks
    forceMultiAxisIndexing: false, // force multi-axis indexing for 3D programs
    optimizeType          : OPTIMIZE_AXIS, // can be set to OPTIMIZE_NONE, OPTIMIZE_BOTH, OPTIMIZE_TABLES, OPTIMIZE_HEADS, OPTIMIZE_AXIS. 'undefined' uses legacy rotations
    compensateToolLength  : true // specifies if tool length should be added to the pivot distance for nonTCP rotary heads
  },

The value entered in Guage Length will be compensated
