IPG Page
This view is only used to connect an IPG projector to ILG. To create a projection for a workpiece, see Creating a Workpiece.
For information about managing the IP address, the calibration file and the calibration, refer to the IPG Page Configuration chapter.
The IPG page shows the IPG projectors.
The buttons in the upper–left corner of the Projectors tab can be used to add, edit, delete and calibrate a projection, project a tool position, project a shape and stop a projection. These sections describe the contents of each section in the IPG page.
Add
Adds a projector. Enter values for these boxes:
Serial Number: the serial number of the projector.
IP: the IP address of the projector. The default IP address is 192.168.100.127. The IP address is always static and has to be changed to fit into the network's subnet.
Projector type: the type of projector.
If you use IPG L, IPG L Plus, IPG L Vision, or IPG L Vision Plus as projector, enter
tvam
Calibration file: a calibration file is required to use a projector in ILG. If the IPG has an embedded calibration file, the field can be left empty.
Edit
Edits the Projector ID, IP address and Projector type.
Delete
Deletes a projector.
Calibrate
Calibrates the tool according the projector. The tool tip of the tool should be placed on the crosses that are projected by the laser. When the tool tip is placed correctly, the tool trigger is pressed and released.
Tool Position
Projects a cross on the tool tip. If the calibration is successful the cross turns up on the tool tip. This is a test to verify that the calibration is done correctly.
Project
Shows a sample projection. The user can set the coordinates, shapes, angle, offset, length, and width of the projection. For more information about projections, see Creating a Workpiece.
Stop
Stops all projections.
