In this article, we'll teach you the camera calibration inside the Safety Enclosure.
#1 Why Does the Camera Need to be Calibrated?
Even though the camera inside the Safety Enclosure is focused (at the optimal focal length), there may still be small differences between the recognized object and the actual engraving result due to some reasons. Don't worry—calibrating the camera will fine-tune its accuracy and precision.
This function is only available on PC.
#2 How to Calibrate the Camera and Improve the Accuracy?
Preparations
1. Make sure the communication between the LP machine and the Safety Enclosure is stable.
2. The LDS PC software is properly connected to the LP machine and the correct camera template for your machine model is selected.
Step-by-Step Calibration:
Step 1: Import your design and make it center-aligned.
Step 2: Set the engraving parameter and adjust the focal length. Then click “Preview” to start engraving.
Step 3: When the engraving is finished, click the “Refresh” icon and get a new snapshot of the engraving result.
If the snapshot and your design don't align, it means the camera and machine aren't perfectly synced, which affects engraving accuracy. Calibration is needed to fix this.
Step 4: Click “⚙” in the Camera section, and adjust the following parameters to align the snapshot with your design:
W (Width): Adjust the snapshot's width.
Increase width: ︿
Decrease width: ﹀
H (Height): Adjust the snapshot's height.
Increase height: ︿
Decrease height: ﹀
X (Horizontal): Move the snapshot left or right.
Move left: ﹀
Move right: ︿
Y (Vertical): Move the snapshot up or down.
Move down: ﹀
Move up: ︿
Step 5: After adjusting, click “Save As” to create a new camera template.
Step 6: Test the new template to ensure the camera calibration is successful.
