Position Adjustment tool
If there are varies of the position determining of the target, the position to be judged is also declined from
the tool window and cannot be judged correctly.
The amount that the target is off-centered in regards to the master image will be calculated by the internal
sensor and corrected by the position adjustment tool, so the off-centered position can be detected correctly
even if the position was off-centered.

Position adjustment process
When the Position Adjustment tool is being used, the processing time will be longer.
In the case of the Outline tool, the search range position will be adjusted. The outline of a target is
searched in adjusted search range and the searched outline will be judged.
Used when an area of the target to be examined and a relative position of the target are determined
and when there is variability in determining the position (position or angle) of a target. For example,
intended purposes are shown below.
- For package box, whether or not the seal is put in the determined area and direction.
- For components, whether logos/symbols/insignias are in-print or not.
If the position adjustment fails, the result of position adjustment is NG. In this case, the total status
result is NG. The individually set detection tool will not be judged. Failure of position adjustment can
be checked with position adjustment output. Review the position adjustment settings and position
determining accuracy for a target.
“4. Output Assignment (Setting Details of Outputting to Output Line)” (Page 4-60)
When the Position Adjustment tool is added, the following settings for the detection tools have been set
will be changed.
- Outline tool : When the search region is the entire range, the value will be initialized to the default
value in which the position adjustment is enabled.
- Color Area/Area tool : When the window shape is the entire range, the value will be initialized to the
default value in which the position adjustment is enabled.
Only one Position Adjustment tool can be set in one program. By setting the position adjustment, the
position adjustment will be applied to all detection tools.
For details of matching rate, refer to “Matching Rate of the Outline Tool and Position Adjustment
Tool” (Page A-5).
