Chapter 4: Configuring the FT-50 for Operation
4-3
Chapter Overview
Before you can use your FT-50 Inspection System you must
configure the FT-50 and the rejector to operate on your production
line. There are two parts to configuring the inspection system:
• Mechanical Configuration consists of physically adjusting and
aligning the FT-50 sensors and the rejector.
• Software Configuration consists of activating and setting all
operational parameters for the inspection functions.
The following flow chart explains the configuration order.
