Camera Alignment
To guarantee the most accurate picking, it is crucial that the camera is calibrated and aligned
correctly.
The aim of camera alignment is to achieve pin-to-spot accuracy, relating the image pixel co-
ordinates with the robot x, y co-ordinates.
Calibration and alignment are performed before ClonePix 2 is dispatched and will be checked
by a Molecular Devices approved engineer when the robot is installed.
If the actuator is subject to a knock or a crash, picking accuracy may be affected. Therefore it
may be necessary to re-calibrate the camera.
This should be carried out by a Molecular
Devices approved engineer.
