Conference Call #6 this Wednesday<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>All,<BR><BR>The sixth conference call for the Renton round of
demonstrations is this Wednesday at the regular times. <BR><BR>The new closed
loop schema is on the ftp site. The schema has been mapped into the AIM and the
both the AIM and the XML used to map the ARM into the AIM are also on the ftp
site.<BR><BR><A class=moz-txt-link-freetext

change history has been added to end of the Closed_loop_schema document. <BR>The
new information has also been added to the STEP Tools resource page for AP-238

href="http://www.steptools.com/library/stepnc/tech_resources/">http://www.steptools.com/library/stepnc/tech_resources/</A><BR><BR>+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<BR>The
proposed agenda for the conference call is as follows:<BR><BR>1. Review the
changes made to the closed loop schema<BR><BR>Suggestions for further changes
and enhancements to the schema.<BR><BR>2. Discussion of the differences between
the first and subsequent compensations in the demonstration.<BR><BR>The first
compensation occurs after the first machining at the end of the first setup. It
defines the reference frame that is used in the subsequent compensations and it
may be a mistake to call it a compensation. The subsequent compensations occur
at the start of each setup and use the previously defined reference frame to
align their coordinate systems before they execute the compensation and change a
setup.<BR><BR>3. Enhancements to the fixture model.<BR><BR>In order to show the
part moving when its setup is compensated we need show it placement moving in
the fixture. For this to happen we believe the following changes need to be made
to the AP-238 schema. Again suggestions and corrections are
welcome.<BR><BR>a. Move fixture from executable to setup. <BR>b. Add
a single placement to fixture for machine tool mount <BR>c. Add a set of
named placements to fixture for workpiece mating points <BR>d. Add a
placement to each workpiece_setup for fixture mating point
