Workpiece Referencing

The workpiece model may need a correct referencing before any operation. The referencing process is needed because in many situations, the workpiece to be processed is located in a location which is not the one that the model assumes.
Thus, up to 3 positions - Reference Position 1, Reference Position 2, and Reference Position 3 - may be defined as Reference Positions.

The ILG software shows the reference positions to the operator as big dots (bigger than the tightening positions).

  • Blue dot: this position should be now used for the referencing.

  • Yellow dot: this position will be used for the referencing later on.

  • Gray dot: this position has already been used for referencing.

The Workplace page does not display the crosshair until the referencing is complete.
ILG system does not know the tool position as compared to the workpiece. The Operator must find the designated points on the real workpiece.

After the Referencing process, do not move the workpiece model until the end of the process.

The operator can now perform the tightening.
