Initialization File LTire

Initialization file LTire.ini / LTireW.
ini
The following setups are possible in the configuration file LTire.ini (LTire 5 and 6) / LTireW.ini
(LTire 7):
[ProgramPar]
ZeitAnzeige=On
Switches the time display in output dialog on/off.
SaveBackground=On
Switches the storing of backgrounds of dialogs on/off. If very small main memory is available,
this option should be switched off, because this function operates memory intensively.
Function method:
SaveBackground=On: After leaving a dialog the previously stored graphics of a dialog is drawn
again.
Advantage: Considerably faster screen-up time, especially when handling large quantities of
data.
Disadvantage: Greater memory requirement
SaveBackground=Off: After leaving a dialog the graphics are constructed anew.
OffsetDialog=On
Safety function.
Switches the button for calling up the offset-dialog in the machine parameter- dialog on or off. If
the button is switched off, an accidential changing of the offset values by the user is almost
impossible. Wrong offset values are difficult to recognize at first sight, but they usually lead to
completely wrong engraving results.
SPSServiceDialog=Off
Only LANG service technical engineers use this function !
Undo=2
Determines the number of Undo steps. Here it is to note, that a large amount of Undo steps
requirers a large amount of physical main memory. Undo-function
MarkLine=1
Indicates the line thickness of the marked data in pixels. A line thickness of 2-3 pixel is suitable
for representing marked data. For the edit functions, a line thickness of 1 pixel is suitable,
because it is easier to recognize a contour with very thin lines. The following attitudes proved
effective:
machine-pc:MarkLine=3
construction-pc:MarkLine=1
Edit=On
It indicates whether the complete edit menu is active or inactive. The edit menu on the machinepc should be inactivated, so that an unintentional changing of the data is prevented.
machine-pc:Edit=Off
construction-pc:Edit=On
[Werkzeugwechsler]
Note: Only one of the following three options may be selected.
WW=24-fach Trommel
if 24 station drum changer and measuring system are installed.
WW=Messpunkt
if no tool changer, but measuring system is available.
WW=Hand
if neither tool changer nor measuring point is available.
SPS=On
Enables the communication with the SPS controller if it is available. This is essential for the 24
station drum changer.
StreckeY=50
Gives the distance of the Y-axis in [mm], which should be covered, when it is driven from the
tool change position to the measuring point. If very long tools are used, 50[mm] can be too less.
In this case collision could occur.
[MaschPar]
The following adjustments in the part [MaschPar] configures the machine. Except for the
adjustment <Res> the values should not be changed by the user or machine operator.
1=Schr/Umdr Tisch :6400
Gives the step resolution of the round table. This value should never be changed by the user or
machine operator.
2=Gdr/Umdr Tisch :1.0
Gives the step resolution of the round table. This value should never be changed by the user or
machine operator.
3=GSW Motorfahren :127

Gives the max. speed of the axis when operated manually. This value should only be changed, if
offset problems occur in the machine setup menu while moving the axis manually.
Res=1.0
Gives the max length of a vector section in [mm], which are generated while projecting/roll on
surface the data onto the tire side-wall mold.
Basic rules:
The smaller the radius of the tire mold the smaller should be the vector section, i.e. the resolution
has to be increased for narrow curves.
Value range:
For a normal tire molds the value 1.0 turned itself out as optimal. The value can be reduced to
0.5 up to 0.25 for narrow molds, but it should never be below 0.2. A bigger value is only useful
for flat molds.
Consider:
A smaller value than 1.0 is only practical, if the distance of the scannning steps are decreased, i.e.
a vector section of 0.5 [mm] should also be scanned with scanning steps of 0.5 [mm].
Spindel=SPS,MCG
This value configures the switch-on of the spindle. This value should / never be changed by the
user or machine operator.
Spruehen=SPS,MCG
This value configures the switch-on of the lubrication unit. This value should / never be changed
by the user or machine operator.
[CalibPar]
The following setups in the section [CalibPar] are adjusted by LANG to the corresponding
machine. These settings should not be changed by the user / machine operator.
Gsw-T=10
Drive speed of the turntable during calibration process.
Gsw=40
Drive speed of the Y-axis during calibration process.
Gsw=40
Drive speed of the Z-axis during calibration process.
Gsw=10
Drive speed of the W-axis during calibration process.
Rampe-T=4
Ramp of the turntable during calibration process.
Rampe-Y=4
Ramp of the Y-axis during the calibration process.
Rampe-Z=4
Ramp of the Z-axis during the calibration process.
Rampe-W=4
Ramp of the W-axis during the calibration process.
[SpindlePar]
Max=7000
Max. achievable spindle current. Serves for display of the spindle current in the engravingdialog.
Kritisch=5000
Critical zone of spindle current (overload). Serves for display of the spindle current in the
engraving-dialog.

Tasks: How to scan a tire sidewall?
This page describes roughly how to scan a side wall. A more precise description of
the dialog 'scanning mold surface' can be found here.
Put tire sidewall on turntable and position centrally.

Central positioning is very important, because otherwise big differences in the immerging depth
could occur during engraving.
Fix scanner in the spindle holder.

Standard scanner
The function of the scanner can be checked, by pressing a finger lightly on the tip of the scanner.
In this case a small red lamp must light up on the upper side of the scanner. If it does not either
the scanner is defective, or the cable connection between scanner and MCG control is
interrupted.
The LGT-S has an additional safety feature. If the tip is pressed to deep, an emergency stop is
caused. If the scanner crashed somewhere, it will not be destroyed. To release the emergency
stop, remove the scanner from the spindle or push a special key inside of the control cabinet.
Infrared scanner (LGT-S only)
If an infrared scanner is installed and resides in the tool changer, it can be changed
automatically. See 'scanning mold surface' for furhter info.
Move machine to position in front of first scan point.

For doing this use the dialog 'scanning mold surface'. The LGT-S can be moved with the hand
control unit, for the LGT with MCG use the menu 'Move axis manual'. The scan start position is
reached the easiest by the function 'Manual axes drive'. The scanning process moves always from
the inside to the outside, i.e. the scan start position is the position on the sidewall lying furthest to
the inside. Pay attention to positioning the tool axes as vertical as possible to the sidewall
surface. The scanning start position should be c. 2-5-[mm] apart from the sidewall surface.
Note: Scanning is difficult if ridges and grooves are turned in the tire sidewall, because the tool
axis must compensate big angle changes at these points. In this case it is advisable to bridge
ridges and grooves or to scan the tire sidewall partially, i.e. the sidewall is divided into sections.
Start scanning
Procedure for scanning:
First the sidewall of the tire is "pre-scanned" with double step width up to the fixed outer radius.
Then it is moved back to the scan start position and the sidewall of the tire is scanned with single
(normal) step width.
Poti 1 controls the positioning speed and Poti 3 the scanning speed. The scan procedure runs
automatically until the end. During the scanning procedure, the swivel axis always positions
itself vertically to the surface of the tire sidewall.
The scan process can be aborted at any time with the <ESC> key.
Correct tool axis angle if necessary

The swivel angle of the scan data can be adjusted by the function 'Tool axis angle'.
Save scanning data

It is advisable to store the scan data. Otherwise, if the program is interrupted or finished, the scan
process has to be repeated
Machine: Scanning mold surface
The scan menu serves for scanning the form cross-section of a tire side-wall which is
centrally clamped on the turntable, and for making the data available for later
procedures. See also: How to scan a tire side-wall?
Note
Depending on the machine type some dialog elements are not available. For
further information see the descriptions beneath.
This dialog can be reached with the symbol
from the horizontal toolbar.
Position of the probe tip

This part of the dialog shows the current probe tip position. Depending on the machine type the
axes can be moved through the button [Axes] (only LTire 5 for MCG), or with the hand control
unit (only LTire 6 for Andron control). A new dialog opens for moving the axes.
Measuring probe / Probe length

The box [Probe length] displays the probe length, which is measured from the middle of the
rotation axe to the probe tip. This value is measured once during setup of the machine and must
only be changed, when the probe is modified or exchanged. Usually the probe length is between
100 and 120 mm.
Note
A wrong probe length result in a faulty engraving!
On machines without a reference area (only MCG) the probe tip length must
be measured and entered manually. On all other machines the length cannot
be modified.
Outer radius
Defines the position on the Y-axis at which the scanning is to be ended. The scan procedure
happens always from inside to outside. I.e. if the Outer radius is reached, the scan procedure is
stopped.
Z offset
States the distance of the scanner tip to the side-wall surface when positioning on next scanning
position. This value should be within the range 1 - 5 [mm].
Step width
Gives the distance between the scanner positions. The Step width should be reduced for strongly
bent curves, while a larger step width can be selected for very flat tire side-walls.
The Step width should be within the range 1 - 5 [mm]. A Step width of 2 [mm] has proven useful
in many cases.
Limit. angle positive / negative

The swivel area of the tool axis (W-axis) can be limited by this function. This function can be
used especially for tire side-walls with already installed profile segments. So the scanner could
not swivel without colliding with these segments.
Note
Before starting the scan procedure the tool axis has to be within the intervall of the limit. angle.
Start scanning process

The scanning process starts at the machine current position.
Load
An already existing scan file (*.ABT) can be loaded.
Save
The data determined during the process can be saved in a *.ABT-file.
Edit
The scan data of all 4 axes are displayed here and can be changed. The import of scanning curves
in LG1- or HPGL-format can be done here as well. See: Edit scan data
Display
The current scanning data can be displayed graphicaly.
Manual moving
With this dialog the axis of the machine can be moved with the keyboard:
Hints:
This dialog is only available within LTire 5 with the MCG. The LGT-S can be
moved with the hand held control-unit only.
The axis moves as long the appropriate key is pushed.
For testing and setup purpose the turntable can turned on permanently with
the buttons "Negative" and "Positive".
The permanent mode can be stopped by klicking the same button again or by
closing the dialog.

Scan surface
Setup machine: Adjust the angle of tool axis of scanning data
The swivel angle of the scanning data (tool axis) can be adjusted by this function. Generally this
dialog is for special purposes only. In earlier versions of LTire this function was used to achieve
speed improvements during engraving. This is not necessary any more due to better internal
smothing functions.
There are 3 functions available:
Set angle to a fix value,
Smooth angle (old version, for compatibility reasons), and
Recalculate angle from x- and y-positions.
Note:
The result of these operations can and shlould be reviewed with the dialog
Display scanning data.
Set angle to a fix value

With this function the angle will be set to a fix value between two positions. E. g. the
angle can be set to 0 for the whole sidewall data.
Steps:
Check the control box [Set fixed angle between 2 scanning positions].
When only a part of the data should be changed, select the first position in
[First position (no.)] and the last position in [Last position (no.)]
Set the value for the angle in [Angle:].
Close the dialog with the button OK.
The result can be rewieved with Display scanning data.
Smoth angle
The angle of the scanning data are modified, so that a constant motion of the swivel axis happens
within the selected area. The inevitable succession is, that all axes run more evenly. Timeconsuming brake and start ramps are partially dropped completely. The smoothing msut only be
used for scanning data with constant curvature.
The angles of the scanning data (tool axis) are smoothed between two positions, that have to be
defined
Attention: After smoothing the swivel axis position is not exactly vertical on the material
surface, but this mistake might be neglected in almost all cases!
Example:
Example:
Example:
Recalculate angle from x- and y-positions

The angles of the scanning data (tool axis) are calculated by the scanned values of
Y- and Z-axis. Hereby it is assured, that the swivel axis is always standing exactly
vertically on the material surface. Since the angles describe no even contour the
necessity for driving time-consuming brake and start ramps frequently might arise.
Display scanning data
This dialog displays the current scanning data:
The dialog is sizeable.
To view the scanned data, the display area can be zoomed and scrolled. Use
<CTRL> and right-click with the mouse to scroll.
If your mouse has a wheel, you can use it for zooming. Alternatively you can
use the keys + and -.
Return to normal display with the button
When the mouse is inside the graphic, the appropriate coordinates are
displayed left below.
The scanning data are displayed by the red dots.
The blue lines at every point show the direction of the tool axis. It can be
controlled easily, if the tool axis is at right angle to every point, or if the angle
of the tool axis has been modified.

Tasks: How to carry out a tool change?
Tool changer:
During a working process all tool changes are carried out automatically, i.e. the machine
interrupts the current working process, exchanges the tool in the spindle, measures this tool and
continues the working process. It is important here, that all tools demanded of the equipping
dialog (Equipping tool changer) have been mounted in the stated stations of the tool changer.
Manual change:
The sequence of a manual tool change is similar to an automatic one, i.e. output is started and an
equipping dialog appears. The required tool must be mounted in the spindle.
Procedure for manual change:
The spindle stops
Z-axis moves 100 [mm] up (automatically)
Equipping dialog appears (automatically)
Mount required tool into spindle
Confirm equpping dialog with OK
If measuring system is active, the tool is measured
Z-axis moves 100 [mm] down (auto.)
Working process continues (auto.)
Machine: Equipping tool changer
This dialog has two tasks. First, it gives information about the current equipment of the tool
changer of the machine. Changes of the equipment can be made.
Second, it serves during engraving as information to the user, which tool has to be inserted, to
engrave a whole mold automatically
There is a slight difference between LTire 5 and version 6 or above. While the LGT with MCG
can only handle the drum-type tool changer with 24 tools, the LGT-S has a quicker disc-type tool
changer with 28 positions. Furthermore the LGT-S can handle an infrared probe, which can
reside inside the tool changer.
Equipment list
Color, Toolnumber:
These columns exists only in LTire 6 and 7. They serve for easier association of the
tools.
Station:
States the number of tool station in the tool changer. The first tool is the tool in the spindle.
Status:
Gives the status of the single tool stations of the changer. Following conditions are possible:
Free
There is no tool in the station. If the station is to be equipped, the

status must be changed to "Used".
Used
There is a tool in the tool station. If the tool is to be removed from the
station, the status has to be changed to "Free".
Not
available
There is no tool in the station. The current station must not be used
by any tool.
Equip
The demanded tool is to be inserted in the change station. This

process is, however, only possible during output. During the setup
the status is not available.

Probe
(LTire 6 or 7 with ir-probe): indicates that this position is reserved for

the probe.
Changing
pos.
(LTire 6 or 7): this position must be left free, so that the spindle tool
can be placed here.
Shaft radius:
Defines the shaft radius of the tool in [mm] or [mil].

Ball radius:
Defines the ball radius of a tool in [mm] or [mil]. (0.0: no ball tool)
Tip radius:
Defines the tip radius of the tool in [mm] or [mil].

Angle:
States the tool angle in [Degree].

Tool lifespan:
Gives the distance already covered by the tool in [mm] or [inch] through the material.
See: Tool life in Tool library.
Status of the tool changing station

The status of the tool changing station or the tool life span can only be modified
during set-up.
Change the status
The status of a station can be changed here. First select the appropriate station,
then select the state ('Free', 'Used' or 'Not available'). After pressing 'Apply' the
status changes. If the box 'All stations' is marked, the state is set to all stations.
Change tool lifespan
To change a tool lifespan, select the appropriate station, enter the value in 'Tool
lifespan' and press 'Apply'.
Delete tool changer contents

Deletes all entries in the tool stations and sets each station status on "Free". Only available
during set-up.
Open tool spindle (only LTire 5)

Opens and closes the spindle for inserting a tool. The LGT-S has a button on the machine in the
near of the spindle for this purpose.
Move selected tool to equipping position (only LTire 5)

Turns the tool changer drum until the selected station is on equipping position. Then the tool can
be mounted / exchanged. The LGT-S has buttons to turn the tool changer.
Protocol file:
The contents of the tool changer can be written to a text file and will be displayed
within notepad. The file can now be printed or archived.
Note:
The contents of the tool changer are saved in the file LTire.wwi (LTire 5 and 6) / LTireW.wwi
(LTire 7).
Menu Machine: Tool library
Overview
Tool parameters
Note
Overview Top
The dialog [Tool library] is also available on the horizontal toolbar throught
the symbol
.
With a click in one row a tool is selected. The parameters of the tool will be
displayed in the acconrdant fields an can be modified.
After modifying the parameters of a tool, the button [Apply] must to be

clicked, before another tool is selected. Otherwise all changes for the current
tool are lost.
Leaving the dialog with [OK] automatically applies all changes. If [Cancel] is
pressed, all changes are lost.
With a double-click in a row the accordant tool will be selected and the dialog
will be closed. All changes are stored.
The dialog is resizable, so more tools can be displayed.
For easly finding tools the table can be sorted. Clicking on a caption of a
column sorts the table for this column. The sorting direction can be reversed
by clicking the caption again. The sorting direction is shown by a small
triangle: the apex directs to the smalles element (top or bottom).
The table can be sorted for every column. Comments are sorted
alphabetically, all other field numerically.
Quick jump: tools can be selected quickly by entering the number. Just klick
into the list and enter the number through the keyboard. LTire jumps directly
to this number. If you wait to long during entering, the selection starts over
with the next digit.
Description of the tool parameters Top

Static tool parameters
The first 4 parameters of a tool are the so-called static data, which describe the
geometry of the tool. These are shaft radius, tip radius, angle, and ball radius.
1.
2.
3.
4.
Shaft radius,
Tip radius,
Angle,
Ball radius.
Dynamic tool parameters

The following parameters are the so-called dynamic data of a tool. They describe
the movement process and the using rules, as for example immersion depth,
security height, feed speed, rotation, tool life, layer-thickness.
Immersion depth
The immersion depth defines the value the tool can be immersed into the material.
Security height
The security height defines the distance of the tooltip to the material surface during an emmersed
movement.
Feed speed
Defines the feed speed of the tool within the material. According to LTire version this value has
different meanings:
LTire 5:
The value of the speed will be defined in percent of the maximum feed speed. The field is limited
to values between 0 and 100. A value of 0 has the same effect as 100.
LTire 6 and 7:
The value of the feed speed will be defined in [mm per min] or [IPM] (Inch per
minute) and corresponds to the speed of the tooltip. A value of 0 leads to an error.
When one of the axes of the machines reaches its limit, the resulting speed may be
slower than the entered feed speed value.
Rotation
The rotational speed of the milling spindle can be set here. With the respective poti on the handheld control unit the rotation speed can be adjusted manually in the range of 50%. The defined
speed will be maintained throughout the milling process.
Tool life
This is the length of a path a cutter can cover, until it shows signs of wear, causing the tool to be
re-ground or replaced. The defined tool life finally decides when a tool is to be re-ground or
replaced, respectively.
Layer thickness
The layer-thickness defines the maximum immersion depth of a tool in the material in one
operation, i.e. the required immersion depth can be processed in a number of operations. A
defined layer-thickness of 0.0 de-activates layer-thickness milling, i.e. the milling process occurs
in one operation.
Comment
A note or comment can be entered here. It only serves the personal information, and has no effect
on the milling process. A comment can consist of up to 18 (LTire 5 and 6) / 75 (LTire 7)
characters.
Colour
The Windows color dialog can be called by clicking to the button [Color], with which a color can
be assigned to a tool. This facilitates the visual distinction of tools, and tool paths. A detailed
help-description for the Windows color catalogue is provided in the Windows system control
(Setup / Colors...).
Copy
The selected tool data of the tool library will be saved in the temporary tool memory with the
function [Copy].
The data in the temporary tool memory can be assigned to another tool number via the function
[Transfer]. The memory contents will be erased as soon as the dialog is left.
=> LTool.txt / LToolW.txt:
The content of the tool library is used to create a text file named LTool.txt (ANSI, LTire 5 and 6)
/ LToolW.txt (Unicode, LTire 7) and is saved in the directory of the application. This textfile can
be loaded and printed with any text program (for example Notepad). This printout serves as
information for already entered tools.
Tool Preview
Meaningful static parameters of a selected tool will be displayed as a drawing on the lower left
of the display screen. A double click to the drawing or the tool list will enlarge (zoom) the
display.
Note: Top
The displayed order is not the sequence of the tools during engraving.
Engraving always starts with the lowest tool number.
The dialog does not remember the sorting order. When opening the dialog,
the table is sorted by the tool number.
LTire 6 and 7: When taking over tool librarys that were created with LTire 5 or
lower, this value must be adapted because the value was given in percentage
of the maximum speed.
The feedrate can additionally be controlled with the poti federate and
Master/Rapid of the hand held control unit ( for operating the hand held
control unit see machine documentation). The feedrate value entered in the
tool library will be moved exactly, if in the dialog Output in the group potisettings the value for the movement- poti Feedrate is 100% ( see also
chapter 8.2 Engraving /milling mold).
A ball tool can not be used during cutter radius compensation for corner
clearing, otherwise the of workpiece becomes defective in the corner areas.
In that case the message Invalid tool will occur.
A cutter is a ball cutter if its ball radius is unequal 0.0.
Tasks
What is to be noted when milling 3D ?
The LTIRE program is capable of reading 3D-LG1-files and transferring them to the machine.
These LG1-files may contain any contours, such as stamps, reliefs or data projected on any
surfaces for example.
Procedure:
- Load LG1-file
- State parameters for LG1-files

-Setup tool
- Start engraving
The management of the passes is also active for 3D-data, i.e. during the 3D-output it is also
milled in layers, if a tool with pass has been stated in the tool library.
The max. depth of the 3D-engraving can either be determined by the perspective depiction or in
the Object-Info-Dialog
File: Open
The file, selected in the file menu, is loaded into the working memory of the current LTireapplication. Files in the format *.LG1 and *.LG2 can be loaded directly. Depending on add-ons
several other file formats can be imported, e. g. HPGL, DXF and some more.
If an LG1-file is chosen, which is not a tire file from LCADR, a dialog for entering the
Parameters for LG1-files appears. This dialog appears when importing other formats, too.
Note:
The file is completely loaded into the main memory. I.e. there has to be
enough memory available.
The command Load can be activated by the button
in the horizontal
toolbar.
The command Load is undone by the Undo-Function
When importing files, the foreign format is converted to LG1 first. The
progress of the conversion is shown in the status bar.
When importin files, it may be usefull to sort and close contours.
See also:
Add a file
Sort and close selected contours
Parameters for LG1-files
This dialog appears allways when importing data from foreign file formats. It appears also when
loading LG1-files, that are not from LCADR.
Tool number
A fix layer number can be assigned to the loaded contours.
Radius for engraving

This radius value in millimetres [mm] or [inch] will be taken in account during the output, if the
engraving mode is defined as roll on surface. Up to the value of the radius the radius is measured
on the chord, afterwards the character will be rolled on the surface. If the engraving mode is
defined as project on surface, the value of the radius is irrelevant.
Engraving mode
Roll on the surface
Up to the reference radius it is measured on the chord, afterwards the object is rolled on the
surface.
Projected (on surface)
Vertical parallel projection: Every radius is measured on the chord.

Edit: Sort and close selected contours
With this menu item selected contours can be closed. The tolerance for closing can
be selected with the dialog 'Options' on the tab 'Close'. This function can be very
usefull when importing data from other file formats like DXF.
Options: Parameters
This dialog allows to modify several parameters. It consists of the following tabs:
Working frame
Graphic
Close
Resolution
Clipboard
Vectorfilter
Working frame
A working area can be defined here.This working area is defined by a rectangle and is supposed
to display the working area of the application. If frequently only a certain part of the side-wall is
processed, the working area can be defined for this section of the side-wall. With the function
Standardization to working frame
only this section of the side wall drawing is displayed.
The working area frame does not effect the engraving.
Display working frame
The working frame can be activated / inactivated here.
Graphic
Tool path simulation

All immerged motions of the cutter are drawn with the equivalent cutter diameter.
So it is easier to recognize, whether the selected contour distance is correct or not.
This display mode can be enabled with
from the vertical toolbar.
Base
The drawing line width responds to the tip diameter (2 * tip radius) of the tool on
the bottom of engraving.
Surface of material
The drawing line width results from the tool radius (depending on tool geometry and
immerging depth) on the material surface.
Draw drilling symbol
When the checkmark is set, for each drilling hole a small symbol will be displayed. When many
drilling holes are used the display can be very complex, so sometimes it is easier to switch them
off.
Show positions automatically
With this option, positions of selected contours will be shown automatically without activating
the function Display position marks
from the vertical toolbar.
Close
The tolerance for closing contours with the function Sort and close selected contours can be
entered here.
See also: Sort and close selected contours.
Resolution
Scroller resolution
States the value by which the screen display is shifted, in case of clicking on the horizontal or
vertical scroll bar.
Spline resolution
Determines the resolution of the vectorising of a spline curve. The higher the value, the more
precise the curve is vectorised. Most of the time the spline function is not used in LTIRE. Then
this value is unimportant.
Clipboard
Within this page the engraving parameters for contours inserted throught the clipboard are
defined.
Tool number
This tool number will be assigned to contours, regardless of possible layers.
Roll onto surface
Up to the reference radius it is measured on the chord, afterwards the object is rolled onto the
surface.
Parallel projection
Vectorfilter Top
The values for the vector filter can be entered here. The filter consists of two
parameters. A point will be filtered if one of the parameters applies. The filter works
on selected data or on all data, if nothing is selected.
The actual function can be reached through the menu "Edit vectors" | "Vector filter".
In LTire 5 the data will be checked automatically before engraving, when the values
are unequal to 0. This helps to avoid problems with the MCG, that can occur with
certain data.
Smallest distance
Enter the smallest distance that may occur inside the data. All points with a smaller distance will
be marked or deleted. A value of 0 disables this parameter.
Smallest turnaround
Enter the smallest turnaround that may occur inside the data. The following picture illustrates the
meaning of the angle parameter:
The smaller the value, the smaller the turnaround. An angle of 0 means: there is no turnaround
at all, i. e. the point lies on a line between the surrounding points. A value of 0 disables this
parameter.

Construction: Load object from library /

LG1- file
Load object from library / LG1-file:
Implies, whether a library (*.LIB) made in LCADR, or an LG1-file (*.LG1) should be used as
data source.
Radius:
Radius in [mm], which defines the position [bottom] / [middle] / [top] of an object. This
reference radius is taken into account for the output. The radius is measured on the chord up to
the reference radius. If the output mode is switched on <rolled on surface>, the sign will be
'rolled on the surface' afterwards. If the reference radius is changed, the arc is changed as well.
Angle:
Angle in [degrees] at which the object is arranged on the side-wall drawing [left] / [right] /
[cenred]. If the reference angle is changed, the arc changes as well.
Arc:
The arc is the measure between the angle 0 and the given reference angle on the reference
radius in [mm]/[inch]. I.e. the arc depends directly on the reference radius and the reference
angle. If the arc changes, the reference angle changes as well.
Transformation:
1: Polar
The signs are arranged fan-like towards the center of the tire.The given width is reached at the
lower edge of the sign, i.e. at the upper edge the transformed signs are wider than the original
signs. Since many points have to be added because of the curvation, the amount of data increases
compared with the original data.
2: XY-tilt
Here the single signs are displayed cartesian (upright). However each sign is tilted, so that the
sign lower edge runs vertical to the sign reference angle. That means, the reference angle
changes from one sign to the next one. This transformation is suitable especially for the depiction
of texts. Since no points have to be inserted, the amount of data does not increase compared with
the original data.
3: XY-cartesian
Here the complete object is displayed cartesian (upright). This kind of transformation is suitable
especially for the depiction of logos. Since no points have to be inserted, the amount of data does
not increase compared with the original data.
4: X-polar Y-cartesian
A merging of polar and cartesian. The signs are displayed polar (fan-like) in X-direction, while
the Y-direction remains unchanged cartesian (upright).
5: X-cartesian Y-polar
Merging of cartesian and polar. The X-direction remains cartesian (upright), while the Ydirection is displayed polar (fan-like).
Engraving mode:
(1) Roll on surface:
During the output of data to the machine it is measured up to the reference radius on the chord.
Afterwards the object is 'rolled' on the surface of the tire sidewall.
(2) Project on surface:
Vertical parallel projection: all radii are measured on the chord.
Position of radius:
Center of symbol:
The center of the rectangle enclosing the object is put on the reference radius.
Corner points:
The corner points of the rectangle enclosing the object are put on the reference radius. If very
wide and very narrow signs ars placed directly next to each other, an optically more beautiful
image will be generated by the function corner points. This can be seen especially on the letter
combinations 'Hi' and 'Mi'
(graphic)
X0-Position:
Here it is defined, whether a negative X0-value of a library object is to be taken into account
when loading on a tire side-wall.
X0 = 0.0:
The left X-position (X0) is always set on the value 0.0[mm]/[inch].
From library:
A poss. existing negative X0-position is maintained. A shift of the zero point can be carried out
by this function.
(graphic)
Distortion X:
Factor of distortion for the library object in X-direction.
Distortion Y:
Factor of distortion for the library object in Y-direction.
Tool no. from library:
Defines, whether a tool number is to be adopted from the library. Should a new number be
assigned to the data, the new number is to be entered into the entry panel tool number. Note, that
the new tool number must be assigned to the entire object, even if several tools from the library
are assigned to the object.
Should a library from LCADR (*.LIB) serve as data source, the library and the wanted object
from the library can be chosen with the following two functions.
Library:
A library (*.LIB) is selected.
Select object:
An object from the library chosen before is selected.

Parametrii
Lungime instrument
Lungimea tietor este gradul de centrul axei de rotaie a vrfului tietor n [mm]. Aceast
msur trebuie s fie foarte exact, pentru c n caz contrar poziia axei nu vor fi calculate exact.
Pentru maini cu un sistem de msurare electronic aceast msur este calculat automat
atunci cnd maina a atins punctul de msurare (lungime instrument msurat electronice).
Pentru mainile fr sistem de msurare electronic aceast msur trebuie s fie determinat
ct mai exact i a intrat n aceast poziie sau n meniul de ieire.
Proces
Schimbare instrument
n cazul n care bif "schimbarea instrument Manual" este setat, schimbtorul instrument nu vor
fi folosite n timpul gravura. Instrumentele trebuie s fie aplicate manual la cerere.
Scufundarea compensate
Scula de tiere se mic repede pe materialul de la nlime (nlimea de securitate) presetat n
condiii de siguran. Pentru Scufundat de tiere n material, cutter mut primul la sumberging
compensa cu vitez mare. De acolo mai departe, dispozitivul de tiere s fie alimentat n piesa
de prelucrat la avansul.
Max. acceleraie plac turnant (LTire 7)
Proprietile de accelerare ale platan trebuie s fie echilibrate mpotriva greutatea peretelui
lateral. Reduce acceleraia maxim pentru pereii laterali de greutate inaltime. Smuls este
reglat automat.
Pentru a instrumentelor
Ordine invers
De obicei LTire utilizeaz instrumentele n ordine cresctoare. n primul rnd conturul cu cel mai
mic numr instrument va fi inscripionat, atunci va fi utilizat urmatorul numar mai mare etc.
n cazul n care caseta este bifat, instrumentele vor fi utilizate n direcia invers. Aceast
opiune ar trebui s fie folosite numai, n cazul n care biblioteca instrument este construit pentru
asta.
Controlul vitezei
Pentru a realiza un moment gravur scurt, poteniometre pot fi dezactivate. Cu aceast opiune
timpul de comutare intrrile pot fi omise. n cazul n care este bifat caseta, doar Poti de master
este activ.
Pentru a evita un instrument poart n timp ce potis sunt dezactivate, un factor de vitez pentru
scufundarea pot fi introduse. Valoarea implicit pentru acest factor este de 30%; aceasta poate
varia ntre 5 i 100%.
Compensa
Plac turnant
Pot fi introduse aici pentru platan o compensare ax. Poziia axei va fi mutat matematic (nu
mecanic) de valoarea introdus. Offset-R pot fi utilizate pentru ajustarea mucegai anvelope pe
platan.
Un alt, posibilitate uneori mai uor de reglare se poate face prin schimbarea datelor n date
Mold dialog.
Controlul Break instrument

Dac funcia de control break instrument este activat, fiecare instrument se msoar din nou
dup ce este folosit. Rezultatele fiecrei msurtori sunt comparate nainte instrumentul este
pus n funciune i n cazul n care o diferen n lungime, n plus fa de tolerana dat este
determinat, se presupune c maina este rupt.
Activ
Cnd check-marca este setat aici, controlul pauz este activ.
Toleran
Valoarea de toleran poate fi setat aici.
Pe instrument rupt
n funcie de ce opiune a fost selectat n meniurile caseta list, aparatul fie se oprete dup ce
instrumentul a fost msurat, sau continu operaiunea gravura dup toolchange jos.
Ultimul protocol
n timpul procesului de gravur, LTire creeaz un protocol, n care toate instrumentele sparte
sunt listate separat. Pentru a putea compara informaiile din acest jurnal cu cele coninute n
jurnalul anterior, putei s facei clic pe acest buton.
Dup gravur este completat
Sta nemicat n nlime poziionare
Dup terminarea procesului de masina iese din material i se oprete la aceast poziie.
Mutare Z-axa de 100 [mm] pn

Dup finalizarea procesului de aparatul iese din materialul ce se deplaseaza pe 100 [mm], prin
axa Z, similar cu stop.
Mutare n poziia de parcare

Dup terminarea gravura aparatul iese din material i se mut n poziia de parcare, nfiinat n
meniul Setup.
Instrument de control de via

Cnd "Active Control" este setat, LTire efectueaz o schimbare instrument din cauza instrument
timp de via, chiar i atunci cnd dispozitivul de tiere este n interiorul materialului. Pentru a
gsi posturi optime pentru o schimbare instrument este necesar s aib o gam de cutare
pentru poziiile din afara materialul. Implicit pentru valoarea de toleran este de 5%.
Not:
n cazul n care controlul de via instrument este activ, LTire solicit, n anumite circumstane
pentru mai multe instrumente, n caz contrar durata de via instrument va fi depit.
Dac viaa instrument este depit, un nou instrument va fi solicitat sau luate de la
schimbtorul de instrument. Dup msurarea funciei, LTire deplaseaz exact n poziia n care
unealta precedent oprit. Noul instrument se deplaseaz direct n materialul, indiferent de un
potenial strategie n curs de dezvoltare.
