The Muse Titan v2 use state of the art cameras to implement calibration techniques that when combined with distance measurement from the Z- axis sensor can achieve high positioning accuracy.
Calibration Method
Place the provided Calibration Grid paper on the center of the workspace. (If lost, it can be found in the attachment found on the bottom of this article).
Ensure the piece of paper is flat on the workspace. Use the jogging tools to go to the lower left corner of the grid. Place the red diode so that it's over the corner of the black square with the number 1. You can use the Touchscreens arrow key to jog the laser (press the Shift & Arrow key for high speed movement or the Ctrl & Arrow key for slow fine movement). Get as close to the corner as possible to ensure a more accurate calibration.
After aligning your laser diode to corner 1, press the "m" to set a marker point in RE3 or go to the Jog Control and select the set marker option. Move the diode to the other three corners and repeat the process until you have exactly 4 markers in the workspace as shown below.
Connect to the software’s Setup page using the format: IP address/setup. Ex. 000.000.00.000/setup.
Once in the Setup window, locate and select the Laser Tools tab. Locate the Stationary Camera Calibration section. Select the Camera Calibration button.
The image show should all the detected corners as shown below if it is successful.
Check the calibration by moving the laser onto a corner using the jog controls or the CTRL button then pressing the Autofocus button. The laser position should match nearly perfectly.
Congratulations your camera is now calibrated!
Notes:
Whenever using the camera feature, keep in mind the algorithm flattens the image assuming the image lies on a flat plane. Pressing the camera capture button will first do a Z measurement then an image capture. The algorithm requires the Z sensor to accurate measure the distance to the bottom of the material otherwise the camera picture will be misaligned.
However, if you have multiple materials in the bed of different heights, it is not necessary to recapture the image multiple times at multiple heights. Instead, you can simply issue an autofocus button and the image will recalculate on the newly measured height without the need to recapture the image which is somewhat time consuming.
In the demo below, notice the material which is taller is off initially on jog over but once autofocus is pressed, the image is shifted and now is perfect with the aligning corner.
