Initialization File LTire
Initialization File LTire
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.
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

This page describes roughly how to scan a side wall. A more precise description of
the dialog 'scanning mold surface' can be found here.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Before starting the scan procedure the tool axis has to be within the intervall of the limit. angle.
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.
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.

Setup machine
Scan surface
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:
Note:
The result of these operations can and shlould be reviewed with the dialog
Display scanning data.
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.)]
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!

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.
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
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
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 ball radius of a tool in [mm] or [mil]. (0.0: no ball tool)
Tip radius:
Gives the distance already covered by the tool in [mm] or [inch] through the material.
See: Tool life in Tool library.
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).

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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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
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.
in the horizontal
toolbar.
When importing files, the foreign format is converted to LG1 first. The
progress of the conversion is shown in the status bar.
See also:
Add a file
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.
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)
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
Graphic
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 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.
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.
