Innovation. Quality. Performance. Best in Industry. Worldwide. 1 MultiVision Operating Instructions MultiVision offers operators the option in completing various projects to use cameras for setting up fiducials, or reference marks for VisionTool software, to streamline repetitive cutting projects of similar material or design. The Vision menu offers several different options for operators to utilize their system for an improved output. MultiVision offers a few settings that must be set once and then are stored in the controller memory until those settings are overwritten. When customers purchase the MultiVision option, they will receive several hardware items to customize their machine: mounting bracket and slider, configured dongle for the licensing and software use, camera, attached camera lens, camera spotlight to help the operator focus light on the fiducial, and 50 Ethernet cable. Requirements * Testing: Test prints or examples of MultiVision job files should be available. See Appendix A: Creating Vision Job File in EnRoute. Dark laminate material that is approximately 6 square as well as white masking tape should be available. * Software: Suite 4 should be installed with version 4.0.60 VisionTool.exe.

See Appendix B: Fast Start, 11. DNC and 12. Start/Cancel/Pause. Vision Menu Options and Descriptions
Innovation. Quality. Performance. Best in Industry. Worldwide. 18 Set Parameter 179 allows the operator to enter the type of system at the initial setup. Operators may enter 100, 101, or 102 at the prompt based on the configuration of the camera. Parameter 179 should be set to the following: a. 100 camera on a slider without an up sensor b. 101 camera on a slider with an up sensor c. 102 camera not on a slider Focus Camera Sets a Z height value of the focused fiducial compared to the tools. If ATC machine, then the controller automatically readjusts the Z height value for the different calibrated tool lengths after each surface. Suggest Focus Camera after any new tool Calibration. If Standard machine, then must surface tool and focus the camera after each surface. Auto Find Setting specifies the distance that the system will scan for the fiducial before prompting the operator to Jog to the proper location if the fiducial is out of range. Manual Find Setting can be utilized once the Auto Find Setting has been disabled. Operators can enter 0 under Auto Find Setting before selecting Manual Find Setting and then select to Jog the tool to the fiducial or Jog the camera to the fiducial. Operators can press Enter once the tool bit or the camera is directly above the fiducial. Correlation Value This values works in conjunction with the Vision Tools displayed Match value after capturing a fiducial. The Match value are typically in the range of 0.2 to 0.3. Suggest setting correlation value slightly higher than the Match value. (e.g. 0.4) This function can be utilized if the material to be cut has a fuzzy or indistinct fiducial and the camera is unable to capture a clear image. If the correlation value is too low or too high, it will be rejected. Retake Distance allows the operator to improve the accuracy of the picture. The system will calculate how far away the fiducial is when a picture is taken. If that distance is greater than the retake distance, the camera will center the fiducial and take another picture. Operators should select a small distance (e.g., 0.002) to get the best results in the Fiducial Check function. Set Camera Scale is used to calibrate the camera scale. The operator specifies a distance to which the machine will move, take a picture, move back, take a picture, calculate the scale, and save the camera scale. The camera scale can be set at the initial setup and then will default to 1000. Set Camera Offsets allows the operator to set the camera offsets based on the center of the spindle and the center of the camera by drilling a hole with a Cut Depth entered in the Params 2D menu. The system prompts the operator to Jog over until the fiducial is close to the center of the PC screen. The location does not have to be exact. Settling Delay allows the operator to specify how long the system must wait before reading the fiducial. This is helpful in case the camera is shaking after slewing into position. Most systems work best with 20 ms. Fiducial Diameter allows the operator to inform the system as to the size of the fiducial when the system is searching. This diameter can be set up in either millimeters or inches. Move to Cam Offsets is mainly used as a verification tool to fine adjust the camera offset values.
Innovation. Quality. Performance. Best in Industry. Worldwide. 19 Fiducial Check allows the operator to determine how far out of square the machine is. Once the fiducials are found, the system calculates the X,Y Offset and Rotation values. Based on these values, the system can relocate the fiducials and display them in MotionMechanic, showing how far off the fiducials are in the X- and Y-axes. Once the fiducials are relocated, the display will prompt the operator about aborting the job. Connection Test will test the communication between the controller and the PC via the VisionTool4 or MultiVision and JobServer applications. Slider Test will test the slider to make sure it is working properly by moving the camera along the Z-axis. This menu item will only be available on machines with Parameter 179 set to 101.
