7.8.2 Template calibration
Template calibration is designed for camera implementation in lami-
nation processes. With template calibration, the resolution of two
cameras (as with standard calibration) and the distance of the cam-
eras to one another may be simultaneously calibrated.
Calibration template, E+L mat. no. 226896 consists of a metal strip
with two slots. For calibration purposes the center of the template
must be aligned according to a freely selected reference point, e.g.
the machine center. One slot each must be located in the measuring
range of each camera.
➜
Align template.
➜
Call up the setup editor.
➜
Calibrate the first camera as follows:
➜
Enter the camera device number in parameter 0.
➜
Enter the camera group number in parameter 1.
➜
Check parameter 17. To assure that the camera may be correctly
calibrated, it is important that the right lens focal distance is set:
1 = 24 mm (OL 8024)
2 = 28 mm (OL 8028)
3 = 50 mm (OL 8050)
➜
Enter the length of the calibrating template slot in parameter 18.
➜
Enter the distance of the slot (inner edge) to the reference point,
e.g. machine center in parameter 19.
➜
Calibration: enter a 7 in parameter 3 for this purpose, then change
parameter to initiate the calibration routine. During calibration, the
two halves of the LED bar on the CCD camera flash alternately
(approx. 5 secs). During calibration, the two red LEDs on the sen-
sor key of E+L command device DO 10.. light up.
- If calibration is not successful, every second LED on the camera
LED bar flashes. In addition, an error message is displayed in pa-
rameter 5.
- If calibration is successful, a reset is initiated automatically. Then
the LED bar on the array camera indicates the position of the web
in the measuring range. The two red LEDs on the sensor key of
E+L command device DO 10.. go out.
During calibration, the distance of the camera to the reference
point is calculated and stored in parameters 23 and 24 as the
"mount position".
➜
Calibrate the second camera as the first.
➜
Wait approx. 1 minute after calibration until setup mode is quit au-
tomatically. The cameras are now ready for operation.
