Fixtures clamp <CLAMP>

Use <CLAMP> command to control part fixture devices (such as chucks, vices, collets, etc.) in the pick-and-place, takeover operations.

Command: CLAMP ClampID(ID) IsOn(71)|(IsOff(72) Direction(DIR)

Parameters:

Parameter	CLD array	Description
ID	CLD[1]	Unique identifier of the clamping device you need to switch. Depend on the equipment settings inside a CAM project.
IsOn	CLD[2]	New state of the clamping device: ON(71) - clamp is on, OFF(72) - clamp is off.
DIR	CLD[3]	Clamping direction (-1; 0; +1) - direction of the clamping jaw movement (sign of jaw axis coordinate change).

Parameters available through the Cmd operator

Parameter	Type	Description
ClampID	Integer	Unique identifier of the clamping device you need to switch. Depend on the equipment settings inside a CAM project.
IsOn	Boolean	Returns "true" if it is the clamp switch ON command. Otherwise returns "false".
IsOff	Boolean	Returns "true" if it is the clamp switch OFF command. Otherwise returns "false".
Direction	Integer	Clamping direction (-1; 0; +1) - direction of the clamping jaw movement (sign of jaw axis coordinate change).

Here are two simple examples of programs handlers for this command.

program Clamp

if CLD[2] = 72 then begin

call OutPause(1)

if CLD[1] = 2 then begin

Mchuck = 111; Mchuck@ = Maxreal

Formblock

Outstr$ = Outstr$ + " (OTKRYT-PROTIVOSHPINDEL)"

Outstr$ = Outstr$ + " M114 (AIR ON)"

Output Outstr$

call OutPause(1)

Outstr$ = Outstr$ + " M115 (AIR OFF)"

Output Outstr$

end else begin

Mchuck = 11; Mchuck@ = Maxreal

Formblock

Outstr$ = Outstr$ + " (OTKRYT-GLAVNYi SHPINDEL)"

Outstr$ = Outstr$ + " M14 (AIR ON)"

Output Outstr$

call OutPause(1)

Outstr$ = Outstr$ + " M15 (AIR OFF)"

Output Outstr$

end

end else begin

if CLD[1] = 2 then begin

Mchuck = 110; Mchuck@ = Maxreal

Formblock

Outstr$ = Outstr$ + "(ZAKRIT-PROTIVOSHPINDEL)"

end else begin

Mchuck = 10; Mchuck@ = Maxreal

Formblock

Outstr$ = Outstr$ + "(ZAKRIT-GLAVNIY SHPINDEL)"

end

Output Outstr$

call OutPause(1)

end
