I have a problem with my "on the fly" camera. When the machine takes a picture of the component with the "OTF" camera the image on screen shows the tool is in the dead centre of the component but in the real world it is actually picking towards one side of the component. Everything pictured using the fixed camera is fine.
The only thing I can think of happening between the machine being fine and me having this problem is that the lens of the camera fell off and we had to remove the camera to fit the lens back on and then reposition the camera.
Could this have caused the problem or does anybody have any other ideas of how to fix this problem or even what the cause could be?
Any sudjestions would be helpfull as im at a loss to what is happening
Moving the camera could well cause this. Isn't there an offset adjustment in the factory setup for this?
Also check the mirror hasn't moved
Thanks mike, iv had a little play about this afternoon and your correct there is an offset in the factory settings (never wanted to go in there, always thought it returned the machine to factory settings) I'll be trying to fine tune this in the morning.
Thanks again for the help (this forum is amazing!!)
Has anybody had any sucess withthe on the fly camera offset? I seem to be putting massive offsets in and nothing happening?
Pretty sure the calibration procedure corrected such offsets on our machine when we used it. I THINK... that if you follow the calibration procedure as documented on here it should, possibly solve your problem. However IIRC you can't really pick and choose the bit you want, do the whole thing to be sure, it is fairly quick.
