Sensor Types and Technical Data Information About the Sensor 4. Information About the Sensor Each configured ATOS sensor, in scan direction, has defined 3D areas within which a measuring object can be scanned. In the following, such a 3D area is called "measuring volume" (MV). The measuring volume determines the distance between sensor and measuring object and the set of lenses to be used.

How to Handle Calibration Objects Sensor Calibration 10. Sensor Calibration Calibration is a measuring process during which the measuring sys- tem with the help of calibration objects is adjusted such that the di- mensional consistency of the measuring system is ensured. During this process, the software determines geometrical parameters, for ex- ample position and orientation of each camera, based on the recorded camera images.
Calibration Conditions Sensor Calibration 10.2 Calibration Conditions 10.2.1 When is Calibration Required? • Before starting measurements for the first time, the respective ATOS measuring volume needs to be calibrated. • Also, if the adjustment of the camera lenses or the position of the cameras with respect to each other is changed (e.g.
Calibration Using Calibration Panel CP 40 Sensor Calibration The CP40 calibration objects consist of black points on a white back- ground. The larger points in the middle inform the ATOS software about the calibration panel type, e.g. calibration object CP 40 for measuring volume MV300.
Calibration Using Calibration Panel CP 40 Sensor Calibration 10.3.2 Loading the Calibration Data When using a measuring volume for the first time, you need to load the corresponding calibration data into the ATOS software and cali- brate the sensor. If you purchased the measuring volume together with the complete ATOS system, the calibration data is already load- Insert the CD belonging to the calibration object into the computer and start the ATOS software.
Calibration Using Calibration Panel CP 40 Sensor Calibration 10.3.4 Calibration Process After that the software will guide you through the individual calibration steps. In the first step, you are asked to place the sensor and the cali- bration object in the center of the measuring volume. Enable Automatic exposure time.
Calibration Using Calibration Cross CC 30 Sensor Calibration 10.4 Calibration Using Calibration Cross CC 30 This section describes the calibration process using a calibration cross. The calibration with a calibration cross is necessary for ATOS COMPACT SCAN systems for mobile operation only! Due to the size of the cross you can only calibrate the sensor in a horizontal position.
Calibration Using Calibration Cross CC 30 Sensor Calibration The calibration cross also contains the information of two scale bars (one on each cross axis). The scale bar information is a specified dis- tance between defined points. For each calibration cross there is the calibration certificate with the calibration data.
Calibration Using Calibration Cross CC 30 Sensor Calibration 10.4.3 Preparing the Calibration Process When you want to calibrate a measuring volume, the sensor is already set up (see section 8) and the ATOS software knows which measuring volume and which camera position you want to use. Based on this in- formation, the software determines the required focal lengths of the lenses.
Calibration Using Calibration Cross CC 30 Sensor Calibration Please follow the instructions until the end of the calibration process. In order to capture the entire measuring volume, you need to move the sensor during calibration. For this, the following general rule ap- plies: You should move the sensor by 1/3 of the measuring volume height closer to the object and by 1/2 of the measuring volume height further away –...
Removing the Air Filter Checking and Cleaning the Air Filter 11. Checking and Cleaning the Air Filter Check the air filter of the sensor in regular intervals. We recommend cleaning the filter every 3 months or more often. You thus avoid a shutdown of the sensor due to overtemperature during operation.
