Setting Up and Calibrating the System (Required)
Before creating any programs or using the automatic offset update capabilities of the system, you must properly set
up and calibrate the system. Correct system setup and calibration is critical for proper system operation.
The Robot Initial Setup wizard guides you through the complete setup and calibration process. This process must
be performed at initial startup and also after any change to the system.
Examples of system changes include the following:
• Any time a component installed on the Z axis (such as the syringe barrel or camera) is moved.
• Any time a dispensing tip or nozzle is changed.
Setup and calibration includes the following tasks:
• Verifying the robot model
• Opening the robot initial setup wizard and focusing the camera
• Setting up the tip detector (for non-laser systems)*
• Setting the camera-to-tip offset
• Setting a mark
• Setting the camera scale*
• Setting the tip-to-workpiece offset (for non-laser systems)*
• Testing the system setup and calibration
• (Laser systems only) calibrating the laser and setting the tip-to-workpiece offset
*All required setup and calibration tasks are guided by the Robot Initial Setup wizard. However, the tasks shown above with
an asterisk (*) can be performed individually as needed. Refer to “Appendix B, Non-Wizard Setup Procedures” on page 135
for the procedures.
NOTE:
Refer to “About Offsets” on page 26 for an explanation of offsets.
