This document supplies the Titan operator with the R-Values spreadsheet used in training at Park Industries, and the associated setup sheets used to enter the data to the Titan. Also most common issues with measuring tools that may cause an error during measuring.

common itm errors

• “Beam not Cut” – This means the beam was expected to be broken but was not.
• “Active Beam Cut” – This means the beam was cut at a time when it was not expected.
• “Scatter Tolerance” – This means the diameter measurements vary by too much.

common itm errors (r-values)

• R25 – If this value is too large you will get a “Beam Not Cut” error
• R23 – If this value is too large you will get a “Active Beam Cut” error
• R21 – If this value is too large you will get a “Beam Not Cut” error. If the value is too small you may get inaccurate measurements due to the laser not measuring perpendicular to the tool surface.
• R22 – If this value is too small you will get a “Beam Not Cut” error. If this value is used with a non-encapsulating tool you will also get “Beam Not Cut” error. The value should be set to zero when setting up non-encapsulating tools.
• R26 – If this value is too large you could get an inaccurate diameter measurement. The laser could measure above the tool and take a diameter measurement from the tool holder. This problem may not give you an error. It is up to the operator to compare the value that is brought back from the ITM for diameter to the original that was taken with the caliper.
• Tool Diameter (tool library value) – If this value is too small you will get a “Active Beam Cut” error.
