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 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.

Selecting Prompt User for Part Scaling

10	1 Operation

Part scaling example

This example shows measurement results before and after part scaling has been applied.

Start recording a program

Measure a feature and note the position of the feature

Feature measurement results

Stop recording the program

Activate Prompt user for part scaling as described on page 10.

Run the recorded program. A prompt will appear requiring the user to enter a part scaling factor.

Enter Part Scaling prompt

Re-measure the feature and complete program execution

Note that the program feature CIRCLE 2 will now be probed at a position scaled by a factor of 0.500 (X=4.00000, Y=2.50000, Z=0.00000)

1.1 Operation

Auto probe a plane

Plane measurement accuracy is increased by probing more than the three required points. IK 5000 systems with CNC and touch probe options can automatically probe multiple points by using the

Auto Probe Plane feature in the Measure Plane Dialog.

To auto probe a plane:

Click the Auto Probe... button in the Measure Plane dialog.The

Auto Probe Plane dialog appears.

Select the Grid or DISC tab

Probe the required positions and enter the required parameters

Click OK

Grid pattern auto probe

	Parameter	Description
1	Corner position 1	The first corner position in the grid

2	Corner position 2	The second corner position in the
		grid

3	Corner position 3	The third corner position in the grid

4	# Points on longer side	The number of points on the longest
		side of the grid

5	# Points on shorter	The number of points on the
	side	shortest side of the grid

	Normal position	A position above the plane for the
		probe to retract to after probing a
		point

	Parameter	Description
1	Center position	The center position of the disc pattern

2	Number of rings	The number of rings in the pattern

3	# Points per ring	The number of points probed per ring

4	Inner radius	The radius of the inner ring of the pattern

5	Outer radius	The radius of the outer ring of the pattern

	Normal position	A position above the plane for the probe
		to retract to after probing a point

1.1 Operation

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.

Tags are not displayed in the program.

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.

14	1 Operation

Programming wizards

Use programming wizards to create the following program steps:

Grids

Polar grids

Palletizations

Random placements

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.

Before creating a grid begin a new part program with a datum.

To create a grid:

Position the first array feature as shown

1.1 Operation

IK 5000 QUADRA-CHEK

1.1 Operation

Click the center mouse button to fire the probe tool

Click OK in the dialog box

16	1 Operation

Highlight the first array feature in the Program template as shown

Right-click in the Program template and select Programming Wizards, then select Create a Grid

1.1 Operation

IK 5000 QUADRA-CHEK

1.1 Operation

Enter the number of features and type in the desired X and Y offsets as shown

Items are the number of features in each axis direction. Offsets are the distance to the next feature relative from previous feature.

Click OK in the dialog box

The grid is created and the program is ready to run

Click New Run to run the program

18	1 Operation

Polar grids

A polar grid measures a part with like features that are in a rotational array. For example, create a polar grid to measure a bolt hole pattern. The programming wizard that creates a polar grid requires the user to input the number of features and the angle between the features.

All features in a polar grid must be evenly spaced.

Before creating a polar grid, create a new part program. Use the center of the polar grid features as the zero point of the part.

Make certain the program is recording before completing the following steps.

To create a polar grid:

Position the first feature in the polar array in the center of the field of view as shown

1.1 Operation

IK 5000 QUADRA-CHEK

1.1 Operation

Select Measure>Circle

Click Enter Point in the Measure Circle dialog

Click OK

Select the measured Circle in the Program template

Select Tools>Programming>Programming Wizards>Create a Polar

Grid

Enter the number of times to loop in the Times to Repeat field

Enter the loop increment angle in the Angle Increment field

Click OK

The polar grid is created and the program is ready to run.

20	1 Operation

Palletize

Use the Palletize wizard for measuring multiple parts placed on a precision fixture.

All palletized parts must be in a fixture that evenly spaces the individual parts.

Before palletizing parts, create a new part program measuring all the features of the part.

Save the reference frame in the part program immediately after creating the datum.

Make certain the program is recording before completing the following steps.

To palletize multiple parts:

Highlight the desired features as shown

1.1 Operation

IK 5000 QUADRA-CHEK

1.1 Operation

Right-click in the Program template and select Programming Wizards, then select Palletize

Enter the number of features and type in the desired X and Y offsets as shown

Items are the number of parts in each axis direction. Offsets are the distance to the next part relative from previous part.

22	1 Operation

Click OK in the dialog box

The palletization is completed and the program is ready to run.

Click New Run to run the program

1.1 Operation

1.1 Operation

Random placement

Use the Random Placement wizard for multiple parts on a stage without a fixture.

All parts must have the same orientation on the stage and be square to the axes of the machine.

Before creating a random placement, create a new part program with reference steps.

Reference steps

To insert reference steps in a part program:

Click the Record/Edit button on the Program toolbar

Position the desired reference feature as shown

The reference feature is a repeatable point to help the IK 5000 locate the randomly placed parts.

24	1 Operation

Click the center mouse button to fire the probe tool

Click OK in the dialog

The IK 5000 will use this feature to locate the randomly place parts.

Create a the rest of the part program measuring all the features of the part.

Save the reference frame in the part program immediately after creating the datum.
