AV-700 Targeting Offset Camera
The AV-700 displays a video image of your workpiece on the computer monitor while you
are running Fluidmove software. When you program using the AV-700, the camera
magnifies the workpiece and the video overlays crosshairs on the image to allow you to
easily locate XY locations for accurate dispensing pattern placement. The AV-700 operates
with Fluidmove software and in Download Mode.
The AV-700 vision system includes:
•
Pentium
®
computer
•
Video card
•
Light Ring card
•
Cable harness
The system is shown in Figure 9 –1.
Operation
When the dispensing system is ON, the light ring illuminates and the camera turns ON. The
camera magnifies the workpiece image and sends it to the system computer. The light ring
card inside the computer supplies the camera with power. It also receives the camera signal
and sends it to the video card. The video card displays an image on the computer monitor
with a crosshair overlay. The crosshair is calibrated to the XY location using a Fluidmove
setup routine.
During a programming session, the dispensing head and attached camera are moved to a
specific location above the workpiece using the motion controls. The crosshairs are centered
over the starting point of a dispensing pattern. The exact location is taught and recorded in
the dispensing program. When the dispensing program is run, the operator positions the
crosshairs over the starting point and starts the dispensing operation.
