2. What is i-XL compared to XL?
The main differences introduced by i-XL compared to XL are:
2.1 i-Cut user interface
The system use i-Cut as user interface. i-Cut is a software package delivered by Mikkelsen Graphic
Engineering, inc (MGE), a company sited in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.
Cutting Table
Front End PC
I-Cut
XL-Guide
The i-Cut software and the XL-Guide software are both installed and running on the front-end PC.
A command protocol is established between i-Cut and XL-Guide, allowing commands from i-Cut to
be executed in XL-Guide. But it is XL-Guide that actually runs the table. You can run XL-Guide as
normal if i-Cut is terminated.
2.2 The i-Cut computer stand
To allow for the conveyor belt, the standard front panel on XL has been replaced by an i-Cut
computer stand. The stand is fixed to the i-XL table frame, close to the –X,-Y – corner of the table.
The i-Cut computer stand includes the following components:
 An XP pc delivered from Shuttle with keyboard and mouse. The keyboard is a dedicated
model built into the top of the stand.
 A flat-screen monitor for the pc.
 A complete MCU – unit including a standard XL operator panel. The only difference is that the
operator panel and the MCU–unit are separated; the panel is glued on top of the i-Cut table
while the MCU–unit is mounted beneath the table.
 Power on and Emergency stop buttons
It is possible to rotate the top of the i-Cut stand +/-90
o
. From XL-Guide, it is possible to modify the
orientation of the jog buttons on the operator panel to correspont to the actual orientation of the
panel.
2.3 The i-Cut camera
One key function in i-Cut is the possibility to read register marks.
A video camera inside the tool head is connected to a video grabber card inside the front end PC.
In addition to the camera itself, a light unit is mounted in front of the camera.
