CCD Camera Calibration

This function is no longer available from firmware version 1.9.16 of the ekr commander control panel. In this case, the CCD camera calibration is performed on the CCD CAM 100 camera. For the procedure, please refer to the separate installation and operating manual CCD CAM 100, document number MD.465.
DANGER
Danger of death caused by the machine starting up!

Parts of your body could be crushed, cut, drawn in or hit.

  • ▶Switch off the machine completely and secure it against it being switched back on.
  • ▶Carry out the calibration of the CCD camera only when the production machine is stationary.

The calibration of the CCD camera is carried out using a special setting menu.

  • »The CCD camera is aligned precisely mechanically. The procedure for alignment is described in the operating manual of the CCD camera.

  1. Select the CCD camera that has to be calibrated (sensor 1 or sensor 2).
  • With a dual-camera system, both CCD cameras must be calibrated one-after another.

  1. In the Setup menu, activate the setting menu Camera calibration (see Calling up the Setup Menu).
