Handle tool |
|
By means of this task, the human model uses a tool (hammer, tongs, screwdriver, etc.) at a predefined target place. In doing so, the tool’s working point is guided to the selected target place. In the field Type of tool handling, the user may choose from the most commonly used options.
Subordinate tasks:
Move hand(s) on path, (Walk)
Parameter |
Type |
Mand. |
Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
Tool target |
Position & orientation |
yes |
An object parameter which defines the target for the tool. The tool target could be either interactively created or an existing marker object in the scene could be selected. |
Tool to use |
Object |
yes |
An object parameter for tool selection. |
Tool movement type |
Selection |
yes |
A selection parameter defining the manner in which the tool need to be used. |
Automatic walking |
Checkbox |
yes |
A decision parameter determining whether the human model will automatically walk to the indicated target point / target object. |
Walk / move along |
Checkbox |
yes |
A decision parameter determining whether the human model will automatically walk along and move the tool accordingly. |
TCP (tool center point) |
Object |
no |
An object parameter defining the tool center point. If no TCP is selected, the first existing one of the tool is used. |
Second hand support |
Checkbox |
no |
A decision parameter determining whether the other hand will be used for support during handling of the tool (e.g. to hold a drilling machine). |
Use given target orientation |
Checkbox |
no |
A decision parameter determining whether the orientation of the target will be used for tool orientation. |
Tool usage process time [s] |
Floating-point number |
no |
A value parameter defining the time per cycle for which the tool and the target are in contact. |
Cycle count [#] |
Integer |
yes |
A value parameter defining how often the human model will use the tool in case of cyclic motion. |
Tool movement offset [mm] |
Floating-point number (0.0 to 1000.0) |
no |
A value parameter determining the length of the trajectory of tool application. |
Tool rotation offset [°] |
Floating-point number (0.0 to 360.0) |
no |
A value parameter that defines the angle of rotation of the rotary tool. |
Repositioning |
Checkbox |
no |
A decision parameter determining whether the tool should be re-positioned after each cycle or it should be applied continuously. |
Incl. force application / tighten |
Checkbox |
no |
A decision parameter that determines whether the tool should be tightened. |
Return tool |
Checkbox |
no |
A decision parameter which determines whether the tool after the execution need to be taken back to where it is picked. |
Press button to activate |
Checkbox |
no |
A decision parameter that determines whether the tool is activated by pressing the button. |
Tool manipulation before and after application |
Checkbox |
no |
A decision parameter that determines whether the user must prepare the tool for usage (e.g. opening and closing movements while using pliers). Used only for evaluation purposes. |
Body movement type |
Selection |
no |
A selection parameter used to select the upper body motion to be used. |
Lock leg movement |
Checkbox |
no |
A decision parameter determining whether the human model is allowed to squat or not during the motion. |
Posture left/right hand / arm |
Selection |
no |
A selection parameter defining different hand and arm positions for the current task and the subsequent tasks. For a detailed description, see chapter Performance library at Hand / arm position left / right. |
iThe tool to be used must already be in one hand of the human model. iThe target for the tool application must be within reach. iThe focal point of the human model is set to the position of the parameter Tool target. |
