Production Setup
Prior to running production, it is imperative to perform one of the following setup procedures to ensure
proper offset parameters for the Camera, Needle, Height Sensor, and the Purge and Scale Stations.
Production setup includes the Prompted Setup and Scripted Prompted Setup procedures.
WARNING! CAUTION!
Failure to perform a production setup could result in incorrect offset parameters,
which may cause damage to a workpiece and/or the dispensing system.
Prompted Setup
Prompted Setup is a user-prompted routine to ensure proper offset parameters for the Camera, Needle,
Height Sensor, and Purge/Scale Stations. It is the most thorough of the setup procedures. Prompted
Setup should be performed:
Prior to all production runs.
After a valve has been removed or reinstalled.
After a new needle has been placed on the valve assembly.
After moving or focusing the camera.
After moving or replacing the height sensor probe assembly.
Anytime you are experiencing inaccurate dispensing.
Part of Prompted Setup includes the Initial Setup procedure (whichever one is selected) as well as other
system preparation tasks. Refer to “Machine Offsets” in this section for instructions on selecting an
initial setup procedure.
" NOTE The Century and M-600 Series Dispensing Systems support the original
Prompted Setup routine, as well as Scripted Prompted Setup. However, scripts
will be used unless the “non-scripted setup” dialog box is checked. M-2000 and
X-1000 Series Dispensing Systems support only Scripted Prompted Setup.
If you have a Dual-Action or a Dual-Bracket Dispensing Head, it is
recommended that you use the Scripted Prompted Setup described later in
this section.
