2. In the Alignment panel, select Moving as the Type.
3. Clear the previous alignment if present.
Press the Clear Alignment button to remove an existing alignment.
4. Select an alignment Target.
l
Select one of the disk Disk options to use a disk 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.
5. Place the target under the sensor
6. If the system uses an encoder and you want to calibrate it, check the Encoder Calibration checkbox.
7. Click the Align button.
The sensors will start and then wait for the calibration target to pass through the laser plane.
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
8. Engage the transport system.
When the calibration target has passed completely through the laser plane, the calibration process will
complete automatically. To properly calibrate the travel speed, the transport system must be running
at the production operating speed before the target passes through the laser plane.
9. 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.
When using an alignment bar, there can be at most one hole in each sensor's field of view.
