M-CNC
Three-dimensional Motions
Complex motions in Cartesian three-dimensional space are mainly implemented with CNC systems. The defined path of a tool center point (TCP) is of particular interest. The path to be traveled is set in accordance with DIN 66025. The CNC system calculates from this setting the resulting path profiles of the three driven individual axes. This takes into account their achievable velocities, accelerations and decelerations, since these parameters are essential for a detailed reproduction of the defined path profile.
Features
- Software module for path motions with Cartesian 3-axis system in three-dimensional space
- Full interpolation in all three dimensions
- Profile setting in accordance with DIN 66025
- Configuration and diagnostics via the SolutionCenter
- Commissioning user interface (CNC-Monitor)
- Library for IEC 61131-3 PLC programs
Ready-to-use CNC solution
This means the first CNC application program is only three steps away:
- Configuration of 3 motion axes and definition of movement ranges
- Setting target position via CNC monitor or loaded CNC program
- Starting the movement
The initial commissioning is thus carried out without having to program a single data row of code.
Motions in 3D space
- Component milling
- Applying adhesives
- Positioning laser cutters
All these application programs have one thing in common: Their programs define their motion paths in three-dimensional space. Programmed positioning sequences can also be rotated around an angle or axis at a later time. This makes it possible to make a simple correction when the workpieces have not been clamped with the correct alignment.
Application programming
A higher-level sequence program coordinates the job acceptance, the material feed as well as the subsequent processing of the CNC program. The interaction with the M-CNC system is easily implemented via the available IEC 61131-3 library.
The CNC-Monitor commissioning user interface permits the complete parameter assignment and manual operation of the M-CNC software module. The Scope 3 software oscilloscope even records highly dynamic motions directly on the controller and enables comprehensive analysis on the engineering PC. In this way, a complete overview is always ensured. This not only shortens the time required for the initial commissioning, but also enables fast troubleshooting during operation.
