PRINTHEAD SETTINGS SCREEN

The Printhead Settings Screen gives the user access to functionality of the IPM. Settings on this screen are only applicable to the

IPM which is selected. The “A” IPM is on the left side of the machine (while the user is facing the print chamber doors) and the

“B” IPM is on the right side.

WARNING: CHECK TO ENSURE THE IPM GREEN CONTROL LAMP IS ON AND NOT FLASHING PRIOR TO

PERFORMING ANY OF THESE PROCEDURES . REFER TO THE USER INTERFACE SECTION OF THIS

MANUAL FOR DETAILED INFORMATION . CONTACT FIELD SERVICE IF THE GREEN CONTROL LAMP IS

FLASHING . PERFORMING ANY PROCEDURES WITH THE IPM IN THE FLASHING STATE COULD CAUSE

EXPOSURE TO HAZARDOUS RADIATION .

Manual Motions:

IPM Selected:

Choose which IPM (A = left side,

B = right side) will be affected by the settings.

Move IPM Beam:

To manually move the IPM

Output Beam:
•

Set the

and

Move IPM

Beam Y

fields to the desired values.

Allows you to manually turn

the Laser on or off. When you start a build the laser

automatically turns on.

Spot-Small/Large:

Toggles the IPM Beam spot size

between large and small.

Pinhole:

Opens

Profiling Mode.

In this mode

the beam will check the position of the pinhole to

ensure the build is buidling in the proper spot. This

works as a checkpoint to ensure the build is starting

and building at the same starting point.

Up/Down/Left/Right Arrows:

Manual motion

control for the IPM Beam.

Set as Rest:

Set the current IPM Beam position as

the rest position.

Move to Rest:

Move the IPM Beam to the stored

rest position.

Check Power:

Checks the IPM power and returns a

value based on the IPM power setting.

Parameters:

Current Position X:

Shows the current x-axis

position of the IPM Beam relative to the home

position.

Current Position Y:

Shows the current y-axis

position of the IPM Beam relative to the home

position.

IPM Beam Power (Current Setting):

Displays the

current requested IPM power.

Rest Position X:

Shows the current x-axis rest

position of the IPM Beam relative to the home

position.

Rest Position Y:

Shows the current y-axis rest

position of the IPM Beam relative to the home

position.

Move IPM Beam X:

Set the value to manually

adjust the IPM Beam along the x-axis using the

edit button. To move the IPM Beam, use the

Move IPM Beam Arrows .
Move IPM Beam Y:

Set the value to manually

adjust the IPM Beam along the y-axis using the

edit button. To move the IPM Beam, use the
