Acquiring a Good Image
The iVu Series sensor needs to capture a good image of each part to ensure that it correctly passes good parts and fails
bad parts.
1. Go to Main Menu > Imager > Auto Exposure to run the Auto Exposure routine.
2. Check the lighting.
•
Make sure that the lighting is constant and consistent (unchanging over time, no shadows or hot spots).
•
Capture the shape and form of the target object with lighting that optimizes its contrast and separates it
from the background. Depending on the target, this may mean the integral ring light is not the best choice
and other Banner lights should be considered.
•
Adjust the mounting angle to provide the clearest image of the part features you are monitoring. The
mounting bracket lets you easily position and adjust the sensor on your line.
3. If needed, go to Main Menu > Imager > Auto Exposure to run the Auto Exposure routine a second time or
adjust Gain and Exposure manually:
•
Main Menu > Imager > Gain
