Variants with a compact C-mount lens: adjusting the brightness and sharpness
1.
Remove the protective optics cover.
2.
Loosen the lock nut fitting on the lens.
3.
Adjust the focus using the knurled adjustment ring so that the online image
display shows a sharp, clear image of the object with no distortion. The edges
must be clearly visible.
4.
If necessary, optimize the brightness and contrast.
5.
Once the image adjustment process has been successfully completed, use the
locking screws to lock the adjusting ring of the lens unit in place.
6.
Attach the protective optics cover and screw it tight.
Variants with a C-mount lens: adjusting the brightness and sharpness
1.
Remove the ring lighting and protective optics cover.
2.
Mount and connect the ring lighting.
3.
Select and activate ring lighting in SICK AppStudio.
4.
Loosen the lock nut fitting on the aperture ring and sharpness ring.
5.
Adjust the mask using the aperture ring (top ring) on the lens to a low value such
as “2”.
6.
Reduce the
shutter time
and
brightness
until the object is clearly visible on the
image.
7.
Increase the image sharpness using the sharpness ring (bottom ring) on the lens.
The object must be clearly displayed in sharp focus so that all edges are easy to
identify.
8.
Use the lock nut fitting to fix the sharpness ring setting in place.
9.
Apply the correct mask setting for the depth of field. In order to do this, check the
settings with the test object. Adjust the mask to a higher value. If a greater depth
of field is required, select a higher value. Bear in mind that using a greater mask
value reduces image brightness, meaning that brightness must be increased using
the software. This reduces image quality.
10. Fix the aperture ring using the lock nut fitting.
11. Remove the ring lighting.
12. Mount the protective optics cover.
13. Mount and connect the ring lighting.
Variants with an S-mount lens: adjusting the brightness and sharpness
1.
Adjust the focus using the manual focus screw on the top side of the device
so that the image display shows a sharp, clear image of the test object with no
distortion. Use hexagon key SW 2 for this purpose.
2.
If necessary, optimize the brightness and contrast.
3.
To avoid inadvertently changing the setting, stick the label provided over the top.
Continuing programming
b
Adjust the settings for additional functions during planned operation such as
triggers, result formats, data interface, etc.
Quitting programming
1.
Save the program in the non-volatile memory of the device.
2.
Save the parameter set on the PC.
