Operation
1.1 Operation
Adjusting for change of part size
The location of features in a part under measure can change due to
change in size of the part. A program can adjust to measure the
features at the new locations by using the Prompt user for part scaling
function. This function prompts the user for a scaling factor that
repositions all features in a program. The new feature position is
1.1 Operation
calculated using the recorded feature position multiplied by the scaling
factor. The scaling factor is prompted for each time the program is run.
The Prompt user for part scaling function is located in the General tab
of the Program Properties dialog.
The size of the features under measure in the program are
not altered by the part scaling function, hence the system
will probe the features at the recorded size but new scaled
position.
To prompt a user for part scaling:
Start recording a program
Double click Program Properties in the Program template window
Click the General tab
Check the check box next to Prompt user for part scaling and
then click OK
The operator will now be prompted to enter a scaling factor when the
program is run.

Programming changes
While recording a program that is intended to include a looping
function (such as a loop, grid, polar grid, palletize or random
placement), it is important to record the entire program with the
looping function before completing the program and running or editing
it. This ensures proper handling of any datum steps in the loop, if any,
and proper insertion of offset recall tags.
1.1 Operation
When a feature is under measure during program playback, that
feature is now removed from the feature list. Previously, the recorded
feature was maintained in the feature list during measurement and
replaced by the newly measured feature once the measurement was
completed.
Grids, polar grids, palletizations and random placements are described
in Programming wizards on page 15.
Tags are not displayed in the program.
14 1 Operation
Programming wizards
Use programming wizards to create the following program steps:
Grids

Grids
Use the Create a Grid wizard to measure arrays or a series of like
features within a single part. For example, create a grid to measure an
array of evenly spaced holes on a pc board. The IK 5000 requires the
user to input the X and Y offset distance, the X and Y distance from
one feature to the next.
All features in a grid must be evenly spaced.

Profile3D measurements
Profile3D measurements compare probed part surfaces to nominal
part profiles from drawing or part data files. Probed surfaces and
nominal profile surfaces are compared in the Measure Profile3D
window.
The nominal part profile can be imported into the Measure Profile3D
window from a drawing file in .IGS or .STP formats.
As surfaces are probed, their points are displayed in the Measure
Profile3D window. When the desired surface measurements are
complete, a fit operation is performed. During the fit operation, the
system positions the probed data over the nominal profile and adjusts
the X, Y, Z and rotational orientation of the probed points to achieve
the best fit. Data points are shown as dots and form errors are shown
as whiskers.
1.1 Operation
Probed points shown in Measure
Profile3D window
Tolerances can be applied to Profile3D measurements as bilateral
limits or as unilateral pass/fail boundaries. Bilateral tolerances can be
distributed equally or unequally on opposite sides of a surface.
The form errors, the number of data points and tolerance pass/fail
results can be displayed in the Measure Profile3D window at the
conclusion of the Fit operation. Upon completion of the Profile3D
measurement, the Profile3D feature is listed in the Features template.
The form error of each surface point is listed in the Points Detail
template and can be visually inspected using the Profile3D Feature

Select Tools>Options
Click OK
50 1 Operation
Profile3D Pass Only option
The Pass Only option on the Profile3D Measure window specifies that
the fitting algorithm terminates the fitting process when it finds a fit
that is within all specified surface tolerances. If the Pass Only option
is checked, and a tolerance has been specified for every surface on
which points have been probed, then the fitting algorithm will
terminate as soon as it finds a fit in which all probed points pass their
tolerance. If no such fit can be found then the fitting algorithm will
continue the process of fitting until it either finds the best fit it can or
none is found.
The Pass Only option is used to improve performance in cases where
time is a more important factor than accuracy. This is to be used when
a tolerance pass/fail is all that is required and not the exact amount of
the error. The amount of performance improvement varies depending
on how loose the tolerance is, and how close the part is to its nominal
form. The fitting of a part that fails its tolerance will not have any
performance improvement by using the Pass Only option.

Adjust the display magnification of error whiskers
During the fit analysis, probed points that do not fall precisely on the
nominal profile generate form errors. When tolerances are specified,
the errors are divided into two groups, those that pass (Passed) and
those that fail (Failed) tolerance criteria.
The passed and failed form errors can be displayed as whiskers that

Auto Focus (option)
The Auto Focus teach function has been removed from the IK 5000
software. The focus search distance is now entered directly into the
search distance field. The previous Auto Focus algorithm used the
teach function to teach the optimum search distance and Z axis
velocity, depending on the connected camera's frame rate. This could
cause an intermittent Auto Focus failure when used on a significantly
different surface from the surface used during the teach process. The
algorithm now automatically adjusts the Z axis velocity depending on
the camera frame rate and the user specified search distance.
High resolution cameras may produce less than optimal results which
can be improved by decreasing the search distance. Decreasing
search distance also speeds up the focal point acquisition time but
requires initial position to be closer to the targeted focal point. On
some cameras turning on the despeckle filter prior to performing auto
focus will improve results, despeckle filter can then be turned off after
focus.
To turn on the despeckle filter:

The nominal value for the feature parameter along with the selected
ISO tolerance table and index entries are used to determine the low
and high limits to be used when tolerancing the feature. These limits
are calculated through a look-up into the ISO tolerance table. If no ISO
tolerance table entry or ISO tolerance index entry is specified then the
tolerance is considered empty and the tolerance will pass. Also, if the
nominal value for the feature parameter is outside of the range of
nominal values found within the selected tolerance table, then the
tolerance will also pass.
