Acquire a Good Image
The sensor needs to capture a good image of each part to ensure that it correctly passes good parts and fails bad parts.
1. Make sure that the lighting is appropriate for your target. Use supplementary lighting, such as a ring light, if necessary.
2.
Click the
Sensor screen.
3.
Click the
camera tool on Tools and Results.
The Inputs parameters display.
4. Set the trigger.
a) Expand the Trigger parameters.
b) In the Trigger Mode list, click Internal (continuous images).
5. Run Auto Exposure.
a) Expand the Imager parameters.
b) Expand the Auto Exposure parameters, and click Start to run.
6. Check the lighting on the part.
• Make sure that the lighting is constant and consistent (unchanging over time, no shadows or hot spots).
• Capture the shape and form of the target object with lighting that optimizes its contrast and separates the feature of interest from the
background. Depending on the target, consider other Banner lights.
• Adjust the mounting angle to provide the clearest image of the part features you are inspecting.
