7-2 Configuration and Characterization

7.4 Tool Configuration

A tool consists of a Fluid Dispensing Applicator and nozzle. The Tool Configuration dialog box allows

you to set the offset for each tool and perform a characterization.

7.4.1 Tool Offset

Tool Offset is the X, Y, and Z distance from the lower tooling pin on the Z slide (also called the tool

flange, or tool arm) to the tool tip (end of nozzle). See

Figure 7-1. The offset for each tool must be entered

into ECXP so that the robot can position the tool tip accurately when running product programs.
