Using path events and touchprobe simultaneously

Path events whose stopping time has already expired will continue to be triggered independently of touchprobe positioning. However, as soon as touchprobe positioning is started, path events whose shifted reference point (Distance parameter) lies behind the end point of positioning are no longer triggered. This is why path events might not be triggered during touchprobe positioning.

If, for example, the vacuum of a suction gripper is to be switched on before reaching the gripping position, the path event must be parameterized in an area that lies before the end point of touchprobe positioning. There is no automatic shifting of path events with the end point of positioning.
