4.10.6 Teaching Fiducials
A fiducial is a distinct shape or object on the workpiece. Fluidmove uses fiducials for location reference.
If your programming options are set to have one or more fiducials, Fluidmove will prompt you to teach
the target points on the workpiece. Choose images that are identical from part to part and in the same
location.
To teach fiducials:
1. Follow the screen prompts and move the camera crosshairs to the first fiducial location.
 Adjust the camera focus and lighting as necessary to obtain a clear image. See 4.8.2
Lighting and Color Adjustment.
2. Click on
Teach.
3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for additional fiducials.
For detailed information on defining fiducials, refer to the Fluidmove User Guide or Online Help.
