Hi all, recently we only use clearance cube as it works perfect for our complex parts. We do not waste any time, however I did notice that collision detection is not working properly. It shows a lot of errors where actually the program will work fine. It look like the collision detection does not recognize the clearance cube. Any solution ?
For Move points, Clearance Cube motions are not available. It is a move to a specific position and hence this is required from software point of view.
But for many reasons, we need motion to clearance cube.
Hence, idea of moveset was impemented.
Moveset will allow you to set clearanceCube motions just like a feature with motion.
How this can be used to your advantage?
I recommend use of Groups with clearanceCube. If you adopt following method of Routine creation, it will give you ability to select any dimension and measure only that dimension quickly using Mini Routines.
Normally, Routines are created with some logic. Say one of the logic widely used is minimizing number of TIP changes or even rotations.
Say we are using TIP at wrist angle A0B0. We would measure all features possible with that TIP before chanign TIP to A90B180 and measurieng features with that tip.
I recommend following structure:
Group Feautures with A0B0
Moveset1 command. Select ClearanceCube motion at Starting Face and Off at ending face
CIR1 - Set ClearanceCube motion = off
PNT2 - Set ClearanceCube motion = off
CYL3 - Set ClearanceCube motion = off
Moveset2 command. Select ClearanceCube motion at Ending Face and Off at starting face
End of Group
WIth above logical structure, you can sue mini routines easily.
You can compare above structure with how we drive car on freeway. We take Entry to Free way (Moveset1).
Now car can move freely without any signal lights.
We can move out of Freeway when we reach destination (moveset2)
In order to make to make it easy to add moveset at begining and at end, you will find reverse (two double arrow ICON) in menu of moveset.
You can copy moveset1, rename to moveset 2 and then click on this arrow if you have multiple movepoints in moveset. This will reverse that path to safety at the end of measurement.
Advantage is that in many cases you may need more than one move point to bring probe tip in front of face that you want to measure. It can be due to size of machine or just complexity of part.
You will find a very detailed help For Dimension Based Measuremnt in 2024.1 version.
In this version, I have tried to improve help. We create a chapter and it will have all information.
Hope that you will like moveset command.
Please use it and share your experience. Thanks for initiating this discussion.
