Calibration that Matches the Application (Registration of Standard Targets)
This device requires calibration which registers the shape and brightness of the target object. "Presence check" and "Difference check" can be selected in the
calibration detection mode in option.
For details about feeder mode, refer to AI Series Users Manual.
Zoom function (enlarge/reduce/position adjustment)
During the registration in step 3, use the zoom function to
adjust the magnication and zoom position. Enlarge the
object or the part you want to check and register it so that
the detection can be stabilized.
