  • Page 32 The camera ensures the scan direction alignment of the three arrays by delaying the image data for each array a set amount of time, as dictated by the scan direction. If the encoder generates a pulse that is equal to the object pixel, the spatial correction value used by the camera will be 1.
  • Page 33 Object Pixel Setup for 20 µm, Encoder set at 21 µm. Forward Scanning Can be corrected with 20 / 21 = 0.95 Spatial Correction If there are several different camera angles and associated illumination configurations in the inspection system, a single encoder pulse will not provide the correct timing for all the cameras. For example, as the camera angle moves away from perpendicular, the image row spacing increases.

  • Page 80: Image Quality Issues

    Image Quality Issues Vertical Lines Appear in Image after Calibration The purpose of flat field calibration is to compensate for the lens edge roll-off and imperfections in the illumination profiles by creating a uniform response. When performing a flat field calibration, the camera must be imaging a flat white target that is illuminated by the actual lighting used in the application.
  • Page 81 Smeared & Distorted Images To achieve a well-defined image, the multiple lines are summed together and delayed in a manner that matches the motion of the image across the sensor. This synchronization is achieved by sending an external synchronization (EXSYNC) signal to the camera, where one pulse is generated when the object moves by the size of one object pixel.

  • Page 82: Power Supply Issues

    Over-speeding may be due to inertia and / or backlash in the mechanical drive mechanism, causing variations around the target speed. The greater the speed variation, the lower the target speed needs to be to avoid over-speed conditions. If the speed variation can be reduced by eliminating the backlash in the transport mechanism and / or optimizing the motor controller characteristics, then a higher target speed will be achievable.

  • Page 83: Causes For Overheating & Power Shut Down

    Causes for Overheating & Power Shut Down For reliable operation, the camera’s face plate temperature should be kept below +65 °C and the internal temperature kept below +70 °C. Many applications, such as in clean rooms, cannot tolerate the use of forced air cooling (fans) and therefore must rely on convection.
