4.3.10.3 Local Machine Offsets
Local Machine Offsets (LMO) allows you to transfer a dispensing program from one dispensing system
to another without having to reteach the Workpiece Origin, Heater Offsets, or Valve Bias. LMO can
reduce production setup time in production environments where programs are created on one machine and
used on multiple machines.
Because no two machines perform exactly alike, some correction or calibration is required. LMO
features six tabs with settings designed to neutralize the machine to machine variances:
 Heater Offsets  Valve Bias
 Workpiece Origin  Air Pressure
 Height Sense  Maintenance
For example, if you have three dispensing systems and you want to run the same dispensing program on
all three systems, you would perform a Valve Offsets or Calculate Master Offsets on all three systems,
create the dispensing program on one system, and activate the LMO feature on the other two. When the
program is transferred to the other two systems, FmXP automatically uses the offset parameters specific
to each system instead of the offsets associated with the program.
