Auto Tip-to-Tip Calibration (AutoCal Tip Offset)

Auto Tip-to-Tip Calibration calibrates the tip to tip offsets in the Z direction.
No operator interaction required.
1.
The system automatically performs this calibration after the tips are changed
or after a material type change.
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.

XY and Z Tip Offset Calibration

The XY and Z tip offset calibration registers the support tip relative to the model
tip.
Operator interaction is required.
1.
The system automatically builds the calibration model.
2.
Remove the build sheet from the platen and allow it to cool.
3.
Determine the XY Offset Adjustment
A.
B.
C.
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.
Determine where on each axis the support toolpath is most centered
between the X-Y alignment path.
Read the Offset Adjustment Value closest to the centered location for each
location.
• This value represents the adjustment value to be entered into the
system - increments of 0.002 of an inch or 0.05 mm.
• If the value is 0, then the system is calibrated for that axis - an entry is
not required.
