Referencing Images
The Image Referencing feature let the user to scale and to put the workpiece image in the ILG software coordinate system. Through the Image Referencing feature, the tightening positions related to the workpiece model and the corresponding points on the workpiece image can be mapped onto each other.
To do the Image Referencing procedure, use the Workpiece page of the ILG software and the tightening tool.
In the Configuration mode, on the right of the Workpieces page, select the Image Referencing button.
The Image Referencing pop-up window appears.Select the geometrical plane in which the image is located.
Then, at the lower-right corner of the Image Referencing pop-up window, select OK.Put the tightening tool on a defined physical position on the actual workpiece model.
On the Workpiece page, move the cursor on an image location corresponding exactly to the position of the tool held on the workpiece. Then, select that location.
Repeat this step for a second and a third position.At the upper-right corner of the Workpieces page, select the Save icon.
The Image Referencing procedure works best if the 3 points are as far apart as possible and are arranged in a triangle in both coordinates of the geometrical plane, in which the workpiece image is located.
The Image Referencing procedure shows the correct tool position (crosshair) on the workpiece image, while the real tool moves over the real workpiece. Besides, the tightening positions of the workpiece appear as yellow points on the image, depending on the taught positions.
