3. In the Stacker Sensors area, type a new value in the Intensity (all
sensors) box.
‹
Increase the intensity if the sensor values are too low (for
example, lower than 10).
‹
Decrease the intensity if the values are too high (for example,
245), or if the difference between the notch and non-notch
readings are too small (for example, the difference is 5).
‹
Increase the intensity if the plate color is darker, if the plate
material has a matte finish, or if the ambient light is darker.
‹
Decrease the intensity if the plate color is lighter, if the plate
material is shiny, or if the ambient light is brighter.
4. Check the orientation sensor readings. The corners with the notches
should have much lower readings than the other corners. The
maximum value is 255.
5. If the readings appear to be correct, click Apply and save to save the
settings.
Adjusting the
orientation sensor
threshold
To adjust the orientation sensor threshold:
1. In BenchCel Diagnostics, click the Controls tab, and then click the
Jog/Teach tab.
2. In the Orientation threshold box, type the threshold value you want
to use. The threshold value should be the midpoint between the
notch corner reading (lowest value) and the regular corner reading
(highest value).
Change the sensor intensity.
