5. Place the target under the sensor
6. If the system uses an encoder and you want to calibrate it, check the Encoder Calibration checkbox.
7. Click the Align button.
The sensors will start and then wait for the calibration target to pass through the laser plane.
Alignment is performed simultaneously for all sensors. If the sensors do not align, check and adjust the
exposure settings (page 84).
Alignment uses the exposure defined for single exposure mode, regardless of the
current exposure mode
8. Engage the transport system.
When the calibration target has passed completely through the laser plane, the calibration process will
complete automatically. To properly calibrate the travel speed, the transport system must be running
at the production operating speed before the target passes through the laser plane.
9. Use Profile mode to inspect alignment results.
Laser profiles from all sensors should now be aligned to the alignment target surface. The base of the
alignment target (or target surface) provides the origin for the system Z axis.
When using an alignment bar, there can be at most one hole in each sensor's field of view.
Clearing Alignment
Alignment can be cleared to revert the sensor to sensor coordinates.
