4.2.16 IRIS plus angle measurement system
All functions related to IRIS plus are located on a separate page. Page can be entered from
settings or bend info, button has the following IRIS plus icon
Besides normal height adjustment and alignment of IRIS transmitter and receiver, which are
explained in chapter 4.2.14, IRIS plus system requires reference image to be taken every 4
th
hour and system calibration minimum once a day.
Besides these intervals, reference image and system calibration should be performed also
after tools have been changed.
First step is to get the reference image, and before that axes of the machine must be
referenced.
After axis reference cycle, IRIS plus reference image can be taken with the following button
which can be found from IRIS plus page. Note that punch silhouette must be clearly visible
without any obstructions on IRIS plus receiver during the reference image.
Possible reasons why reference image might be unsuccessful:
-miss alignment of the transmitter/receiver
-unclean or scratchy transmitter/receiver window
-extreme conditions such as
-direct sunlight on IRIS plus receiver
-exposure to the outside elements (e.g. near open doorways)
-machine located directly beneath or next to fans, heating, or air conditioning
units
-hardware failure
