1. Click Exclusion to select the job exclusion region layer. The job exclusion region is
gray.
2. Use the Brush and Eraser tools to draw a job exclusion region.
7.2.4.4 Adjust the pick position
There are different options on how to define and adjust the pick pose, see "Overview of
the job configuration alternatives", page 47 for more information on what is applied for
your PLOC2D system.
The part reference point tool
To adjust the pick position on the work plane's X or Y axis, or to rotate the pick position
around the work plane's Z axis, use the part reference point tool.
1. Click Part reference point to start the part reference point tool.
✓
The part reference point is highlighted.
2. Drag the part reference point from its position at the origin to a position relative
to the detected shape. It can, for example, be at the center of the shape or at a
corner.
°
To position the part reference point with high accuracy, zoom in on the part.
°
To rotate the part reference point, use its rotation handle.
°
To reset the part reference point to the origin, click Reset at the upper left
corner of the image.
°
To center the part reference point based on the edges of the detected shape,
click Center at the upper left corner of the image.
•
If the shape is almost circular, the rotation is fixed when the part refer‐
ence point is centered.
•
If the shape is elongated, the rotation is adapted so the x-axis is parallel
to the longer side when the part reference point is centered.
✓
This position is now the reference position of the part. All pick positions defined by
the robot are defined relative to this position.
7.2.4.5 Settings
Image acquisition
Each job uses one of four global exposure settings or a job-specific setting that controls
the brightness and contrast.
Select an option (Global setting 1 – 4 or For this job only) from the Exposure settings list in
the Advanced section to change the exposure settings for the selected job. When new
exposure settings have been selected, click Acquire to update the reference image.
Control the exposure settings
•
To automatically set brightness and contrast, click Auto adjust exposure.
•
To set brightness and contrast manually, adjust the Brightness and Contrast sliders.
✓
Exposure time and gain are shown above the Brightness slider.
Note that changes to these parameters are applied to all jobs that use the specified
exposure setting (Global setting 1 – 4).
NOTE
We do not recommend to use job-specific settings if the system locates multiple jobs
simultaneously. Image acquisition takes a longer time if every job has different image
settings.
Algorithm
In the Advanced section, adjust the Max rotation and Z-offset parameters.
