Move tool on path (extended)

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

By means of this task, the human model is able to move the TCP of a tool along a defined path.

 

Subordinate tasks:

Move hand(s) on path

 

Parameter

Type

Mand.

Meaning

Tool to use

Object

yes

An object parameter for tool selection.

Tool path

Path

no

A path parameter defining the trajectory of the tool movement.

Reference tool

object(s)

Object

no

A object or a root node of a weld point group with subordinate weld points can be used as references for the individual tool positions. The human model will move the tool corresponding to the reference objects.

Automatic walking

Checkbox

yes

A decision parameter determining whether the human model will automatically move to the indicated target point / target object.

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.

Tool speed

[mm/s]

Floating-point number

(1.0 to 500.0)

no

A value parameter indicating the speed in millimetres per second that will be used to guide the tool along the path.

Process time per target [s]

Floating-point number

(1.0 to 500.0)

no

A value parameter indicating the time the tool will spend at the target points. This should be proportional to the process time at each point (corresponds to the process time for welding).

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).

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.

 

iThe tool to be used must already be in one hand of the human model.

iThe target for the tool application must be within the reach of the human model.

iWhen using the reference objects, the human model tries to move along once a corresponding motion distance is exceeded.
