Line scanner with oscillating mirror:
In the "Percent Evaluation" mode, the CLV behaves in the following manner:
– in "Oscillating" mode (default setting: oscillating with a fixed amplitude), the CLV shuts
off oscillation and positions the scan line under the angle CW = 50 (corresponds to
an angle of deflection of 105
°
). This position cannot be altered.
– in "One-Shot" mode, the CLV also positions the scan line under the angle CW = 50
– in "Set Position" mode, the scan line’s selected position remains unchanged.
Performing fine adjustment:
10. Align the CLV in such a way that the angle between the scan line and the bars on the
bar code CLV is almost 90
°
. The oscillating mirror must be aligned in such a way that
the scan line is located at the center of the bar code, perpendicular to the bar code
lines, when it is in the neutral position (CW = 50).
11. To avoid interfering reflections, tilt the line scanner away from the vertical axis so that
the light strikes the bar code at an angle of approx. 105
°
(see
).
12. If necessary, position the scan line exactly at the direct center of the bar code.
below.
13. Move objects carrying bar codes into the CLV reading field manually under realistic
conditions and check the reading result. If the objects are aligned randomly, or if the bar
code is located at different positions (angles), ensure that the limit values of the
permissible reading angles are not exceeded.
14. Adjust the CLV in such a way that the good read rate is between
70 ... 100 %
.
With event-controlled dynamic focus control, for each defined reading range (distance
configuration), check the selected focus position and correct the parameter settings if
necessary (see
Chapter 6.4.4 Guide to parameterization menu, Page 6-9
).
15. Tighten the screws on the CLV.
The CLV is aligned with the bar code.

Adjusting mode
The "Adjusting mode" helps you to position the
center
of the scan line on the object. To do
so, the CLV masks out one half of the scan line from the center (code position CP = 50 to
CP = 100). This is irrespective of whether the CLV is operated in Autofocus mode or with
distance configurations for event-driven dynamic focus control.
