on the detection logic. To do this,
check Enabled in the Part
Detection panel.
Rotational: The sensor reorders
profiles within a surface to be
aligned with the encoder’s index
pulse. That is, regardless of the
radial position the sensor is started
at, the generated surface always
starts at the position of the index
pulse. If the index pulse is not
detected and the rotation
circumference is met, the surface is
dropped and the Encoder Index
Drop indicator will be
incremented.This mode is typically
used in applications where
measurements of circular objects or
shafts need to be taken, such as tire
tread inspection, or label
positioning on bottles.
To scan exactly one
revolution of a
circular target without
knowing the
circumference,
manually set the
encoder resolution
(page76) to 1, the
encoder trigger
spacing (page 88) to
(number of encoder
ticks per revolution) /
(number of desired
profiles per
revolution), and
Encoder Resolution
in the Surface
Generation panel to
the number of
encoder ticks per
revolution.
You can optionally enable part
detection to process the surface
