Defining Travel Limits

You can define travel limits for commands within a mechanism. Travel Limit specifies the limits for the motion of each of the commands (or joints).

Before you begin: Open a NC Resource on which machine kinematics have already been defined.

For additional information on this see, Mechanical > Assembly Design User's Guide > Engineering Connections.

  1. Click Travel Limits on the Machine Building toolbar, and select the machine from the resource tree.

    The Modify Command Limits dialog box appears.



  2. Alter the Caution Zone as desired.

    Doing this ensures that during simulation, in case a particular command in the device is nearing its travel limits, a warning is generated. You can choose one of the following :

    • Absolute: The Caution Zone input field for each command takes only absolute values.
    • Relative: The Caution Zone input field for each command takes only relative values in terms of percentage.

  3. Alter travel limits (Lower limit and Upper limit) as required.

  4. Click OK to accept the changes.
