Complete Guide to Calibration and Use of TITAN Series Machine CCD

Preface

This guide provides clear instructions on how to import calibration files, calibrate the CCD, and use the CCD for the TITAN series machines. By following these steps, you can ensure the proper functioning and accuracy of the camera system.

How to import the calibration file

Every machine in the TITAN series has a CCD, as well as a calibration file. Import the calibration file directly to use the camera.

Specific steps

  1. To import the camera calibration file, we first need to follow the steps shown in the figure below to find the 'External import' entry.


  2. Next, find the U disk in the Key bag and connect it to your computer.


  3. Finally, locate the calibration file in the following path and import it.

How to calibrate the CCD

It should be noted that the camera of your machine has been calibrated before leaving the factory, and the calibration file has been saved on the U disk. Unless necessary, please skip this camera calibration process.

Specific steps

  1. Connect the machine.

Use the Ethernet cable to connect the machine and the computer.

  1. Place the plywood on the platform and secure it with magnets. Please refer to this picture for the plywood and laser head positions.

  2. After moving the laser head to the position of the picture above, please click the Origin button on the touch panel.
  3. Use the auto focus function on the touch panel to focus.

  4. Before performing this step, make sure that your machine is successfully connected to your computer.


  5. Next, go to Settings >> Camera >> Camera-Top >> Preview.

  6. After that, click the 'Calibration Wizard' button to start the camera calibration process. In the pop-up 'Camera Calibration Wizard' window, select 'Motion Camera', then choose 'Completely Recalibrate'.


  7. Then, click the 'Save the Calibration Template' button and print the template on A4 paper.


  8. Place the printed A4 paper within the camera's preview range, align it with the center point, and then click 'Calibration Ratio' to finish the calibration.

    Notes
    Ensure that the detected circle is correct and that the proportion edit box has a value, then click 'Next step'.
  9. Remove the A4 paper you just printed, then click the 'Cutting mark' button and mark the corresponding cross. Once marking is complete, you can move on to the next step.
  10. In the preview screen, move the laser head to the marked position, then left-click to align the center of the cutting pattern with the corresponding cross in the preview on the left. Next, click the 'Offset Correction' button to complete the correction.


How to use the CCD

Specific steps

  1. Camera Calibration and File Preparation.

First and foremost, it is essential to ensure that your camera is either calibrated or that the calibration file has been successfully imported. This step is fundamental to the accuracy of subsequent operations.

  1. Pattern Placement and File Import.

Next, carefully place the target pattern on the work platform. Following this, import the corresponding file into the software.


After completing the above steps, set the mark point.

  1. Real-Time Image Acquisition.
After completing the aforementioned steps, click on the 'Camera' option to obtain real-time images. Subsequently, click the 'Send' button to transmit the relevant data.
 
  1. Template Settings in Mark Point Processing.

In the template settings step of mark point processing, first, select the corresponding type in 'Template matching' of 'Mark point parameter configuration' on the right according to the mark point type of the material, set the mark point size, and finally click 'Next step'.


  1. Master Marking Process.
In the master mark step, click mark points on the material as per the red points in the canvas preview. For multiple arrays, choose patterns near the four corners. Mark at least 2 points and click 'Next step' when qualified.

  1. Automatic Data Collection.

At this point, the device will initiate the automatic collection of data. During this period, it is crucial not to operate the device or close the software. Once the data collection is completed, click 'Next step' to proceed.


  1. Processing Settings Configuration.

In the processing settings step, configure the pattern interval (X, Y) as well as the number of rows and columns according to your specific needs. After making these adjustments, click 'Next step'.


  1. Initiating the Processing.
When parameters are set, click 'Start' to begin processing.
