TECH BRIEFS :: With Collision Avoidance, Sinumerik optimally protects moving components against involuntary collisions with static machine components in every operating situation. well as the tool cutting edge, are efectively monitored for collisions. Te 3D visualization system allows users to display the complete machining process, including the machining room, on the CNC screen. Users are able to quickly and efectively identify the area subject to signifcant collision risk. For collision monitoring with the workpiece, Siemens has already provided ofine machine simulation in NX CAM for some time, which allows users to prevent collisions when defning the relevant processes on the PC. Te machine model is confgured through a user-friendly defnition of cuboids, balls, cylinders or the import of STL fles directly via the CNC user interface. As an alternative, NX Sinumerik Collision Avoidance allows machine manufacturers to quickly read in the machine model from the existing machine design data, simplify it and transfer it directly to the CNC. Te CNC automatically generates the data for collision monitoring of the tool cutting edges from the tool data available for machining. Tis automatically includes collision monitoring with the machine component model without additional operator maintenance. Compile Cycle Through the adoption of mechatronic optimization measures, Siemens addresses requirements that arise in special applications such as moldmaking. As such, the company has incorporated the Nodding Compensation compile cycle into the CNC, significant for gantry-type machines, for example, because the tower can "nod" with the acceleration and deceleration of the other axes. This nodding cannot be compensated by controlling the axes of the tower because the signals cannot be monitored on the motor encoder.
