There is an alignment aid kit (google it) that works with camview-emc, fixes 2 problems. 1) it moves the machine from where ever it is, to put the camera looking at where the tool was before you moved it, and once you've located the target, then moves the machine back to match the target. This you need to calibrate, normally by milling a teeny dimple, zeroing the machine, then doing the move, then find the target, at which point you can save this offset and use it every time. The other is that if you have say a pcb to do both sides of, and it has 2 or more registration holes at arbitrary locations, it can read those holes from side one, then turn it over and read those same holes in side 2 and apply including any rotation between front and back, and compensate for that. It is not something I have exercised for real, not having made a board since I mounted the camera, but the theory says it should work. That would save me the work of making a custom pallet every time I have to deal with a new board size. > On May 9, 2014, at 2:29 PM, Gene Heskett <ghcesk...@wdtv.com> wrote: > > On Friday 09 May 2014 13:30:32 Jon Elson did opine > > > > And Gene did reply: > >> OK, so the camera works.
