Parameters
The AccuBeam 3 Digital Line Guide can track lines and edges printed on many different types of
materials. There are twelve tracking parameters that can be adjusted to configure the sensor for a
particular pattern and background material. These parameters include: LED Color, LED Angle,
Filter, Threshold, Pattern, Scan Direction, Min/Max Left, Min/Max Center, and Min/Max Right.
Tip: The quickest and most reliable way to set the line and edge tracking parameters is
to use the auto-calibration procedure (page 65). This procedure automatically finds the
optimum values for all line and edge tracking parameters. These parameters can also be
examined and manually set as described in the Operation section of this manual (page
63).
The Digital Line Guide can store up to 25 unique parameter configurations (called job profiles )
that make material changeover faster and less error-prone. When a job profile is selected, all
previously stored parameter settings for that job are instantly recalled.
The Digital Line Guide’s parameters are described below:
Job Profile
J o b P r o f i l e 1 The Digital Line Guide can store up to 25 unique
parameter configurations (called
job profiles ) that make
material changeover faster and less error-prone. When a
job profile is selected, all previously stored parameter
settings for that job are instantly recalled.
Range: 1 to 25
To save a new job profile, select an unused profile
number, then change the other parameters as needed.
To modify an existing job profile, select its profile number,
then change the other parameters as needed.
To recall a job profile, select the profile number.
Note : When AC power is turned on the system will
automatically reload the job profile that was selected and
in use when AC power was lost.
The default value is 1.
Offset
O f f s e t 0 . 0 0 0 The Offset parameter is typically used for setting the guide
point position - when in Automatic mode the guide will
maintain the web at this position. The offset is displayed in
inches .
Range:
±
16.300”
The default value is 0.000. After setting defaults this
parameter will be hidden. Refer to the description of the
Hidden parameter for more information about making this
parameter visible.
