9. Part Presentation How is the target being presented to the camera?
Speed
Consistency in positioning

10. Cycle Time - Indexed Indexed Motion = Start – Stop – Start - Stop
Measured in parts per minute or parts per second
Typically slower that continuous motion

Limited by Focal Depth
Effects measurement perspective X Z
Focal Length = Focal Depth
Focal Length = Focal Depth

15. Best Bad and Worst Good Worst Good Best Bad
Part barely passes expectations
Best Bad
Part barely fails expectations

16. Describes the parts that Pass and Fail
The customer saying I want the part to look like this is too subjective
Look for the pain point
Avoid application creep
Manage expectations

17. Camera Trigger and Part Rejection
Part Rejection Method
How do you plan to eject part?
Solenoid
Indicator Light
PLC input
Camera Triggering Source
How are you going to tell the camera to capture and image?
Photo eye
Proximity sensor
Encoder
PLC
HMI
Push button
This can effect your target presentation tolerance

18. Vision Sensor Mounting
FOV Determined by
Working Distance
Lens Focal Length
WD Determined by
Field of View Size
Lens Focal Length
