ZG2 Short Manual

Tutorial

This chapter shows step by step how to set up the ZG2 profile sensor to perform a 
measurement. Below you can find the 7 steps to follow. More detailed description of 
each step is given then on the following pages.

1) Initialization (optional):

Initialize the sensor as a first step to start with default values.

2) Mount the sensor head:

Mount the sensor head that you can see the yellow profile line on the LCD screen.

3) „Teach“ a profile:

The stored profile is used for the setting of the measurement region and position
correction.

4) Select a measurement item:

The ZG2 has19 different measurement items and 1 calculation item for flexible 
inspection of all kinds of measurements.The ZG2 can perform up to 8 tasks at the
same time without increase of measurement cycle time.

5) Set the measurement region for the measurement item:

The functioning of measurement items is based on characteristic points which are
defined by a horizontal or vertical regions along the profile line.

6) Optimize the image settings regarding cycle time and accuracy:

The ZG2 has multiple modes for the control of the laser power as well as multiple 
filters for image improvement.

7) Setup position compensation (optional):

The ZG2 can compensate horizontal, vertical and slope postion variations.
