Setting the Tool Offset
If your system includes a camera or similar accessory installed on the Z axis, follow this procedure to teach the
system the offset values. The offset values represent the distance between the tip and the accessory.
PREREQUISITES
The accessory and the valve system are properly installed.
The XYZ offset values (in mm) needed for this function are calculated.

Example of How to Calculate Tool Offset Values
In this example, the accessory is a camera that has been installed on the robot. Using the camera, create a dispense
dot on the workpiece and record the XYZ coordinates. Next, move the tip to the same location on the workpiece,
create a dispense dot, and record the XYZ coordinates. Calculate the difference between the two coordinates to
obtain the offset values as follows:
• Accessory XYZ values: 10 20 5
• Tip XYZ values: 8 22 15
• Offset XYZ values: 2 -2 -10 (the differences between the accessory XYZ values and
the tip XYZ values)
