6.4 Calibration the Vision3 sensor offset to the Cutting Blade
The Intec ColorCut SC5000 engine includes a Vison3 sensor which is an 8th Generation
ARMS system (AutoMatic Registration Mark Sensor). The Vision3 sensor uses a CCD
camera to automatically detect registration marks, the position of the registration marks
on your sheet allows ColorCut Pro to compensate for any scale or skew errors and
adapt cutting lines enabling highly accurate cutting to elements printed on the media.
The Vison3 sensor is mounted offset to the cutting blade holder, so your ColorCut Pro
application must be calibrated to compensate for the offset (distance ) from the Sensor
to the cutting blade.
NOTE: The sensor offset value is stored within the software application,
so if you plan to use multiple machines, you must set the sensor offset
on each computer therefore, if you are using ColorCut Pro Job server, on
a different computer as a production machine, you will need to set it on
that machine also in order to cut accurately.
Calibrating the Vison3 camera offset is extremely easy, as the software will automatically
do it for you (It can be done manually if you wanted to).
To use the AutoFind feature to set the Vison3 sensor offset, use the PEN CALIBRATION
TOOL. The pen tool is used to draw a circle, the centre of which is used to defi ne
to point of the cutter blade, then the Vison3 ARMS sensor reads the location of the
circle and the software calculates the offset automatically for you.
