START AUTO TIP CALIBRATION
Start Auto Tip Calibration allows the user to calibrate the tip-to-tip offsets in the Z direction. No operator
interaction is required.
Note: If using ULTEM 9085, Auto Tip Calibration should be performed with new,
unused model and support tips. Using new, unused model and support tips
ensures proper calibration without requiring user changes to the Z tip offsets.
Confirm that the tip sensor is clean. This will ensure complete, automated Z tip
calibration.
1.
The system automatically performs this calibration as part of the tip change wizard actions.
2.
Proper calibration allows the system to toggle material tips and place the current tip at the
precise coordinate necessary to continue accurate part build.
ADJUST XYZ CALIBRATION OFFSETS
Adjust XYZ Calibration registers the support tip relative to the model tip.
Figure 5-3:
Adjust XYZ Calibration Offsets
1.
The system automatically builds the calibration model when the Build Calibration Box button is
pressed.
2.
Remove the build sheet from the platen and allow it to cool.
3.
Determine the XY Offset Adjustment (Figure 5-4 on page 105or Figure 5-5 on page 106)
A.
View the relationship between the support calibration toolpath and the alignment indicators
to determine the X and Y Axis calibration.
•
Use a magnifier.
•
Hold the build sheet up to the light, a light-colored wall, or a light-colored piece of paper.
B.
Determine where on each axis the support toolpath is most centered between the X-Y
alignment path.
C.
Read the Offset Adjustment Value closest to the centered location for each location.
