To perform alignment for stationary targets:
1. In the Alignment panel, select Stationary as the Type.
2. Clear the previous alignment if present.
Press the Clear Alignment button to remove an existing alignment.s
3. Select an alignment Target.
l
Select Flat Surface to use the conveyor surface (or other flat surface) as the alignment reference
l
Select Bar to use a custom calibration bar. If using a calibration bar, specify the bar dimensions
and reference hole layout. See Calibration Targets on page 26 for details.
Configure the characteristics of the target.
4. Place the target under the sensor
5. Click the Align button.
The sensors will start, and the alignment process will take place. Alignment is performed
simultaneously for all sensors. If the sensors do not align, check and adjust the exposure settings (page
98).
Alignment uses the exposure defined for single exposure mode, regardless of the
current exposure mode.
6. Use Profile mode to inspect alignment results.
Laser profiles from all sensors should now be aligned to the alignment target surface. The base of the
alignment target (or target surface) provides the origin for the system Z axis.
To perform alignment for moving targets:
1. Do one of the following if you have not already done so.
l
If the system uses an encoder, configure encoder resolution. See Encoder Resolution on page 76 for
more information.
l
If the system does not use an encoder, configure travel speed. See Travel Speed on page 77 for
more information.
