Calibration and Adjustment 5-5
5.6 Calibrating the Camera
 NOTE This procedure assumes the dispensing system has been powered on, Fluidmove is
running, a substrate is available, and the camera has been focused. The camera is self-
calibrating when using the calibrate button from the Setup Vision Window. The software
compares the pixel count to machine units by moving away from the taught image by a
known value, finding the image again, and assigning a pixel-count-to-machine-unit value.
With this value established, the vision system can accurately find the substrate and
dispense at the correct location (provided the vision target image is within the field of
view).
 NOTE If the camera is ever refocused to accommodate a different part height, the calibration
routine MUST be run again.
To calibrate the camera:
1. In the Fluidmove Programming Window, click the
Load a Board icon.
 The conveyor will transport the substrate to the dispense station and the lift mechanism
will lift it off the conveyor belt.
2. In the Fluidmove Main Window, click on
Configuration > Setup Vision.
 The Setup Vision Window opens (Figure 5-4).
