2-4 Camera Calibration (Diode Laser)

Description

This article will guide you through the process of performing a camera calibration.
However, please note that this page is only for 10W and 20W Diode Laser Module.

For other modules, please refer to:

- Ador - Printing Module Calibration
- Ador - 2W Infrared Laser Module Calibration 

When Camera Calibration is Needed
1. When using the machine for the first time.
2. When the machine has been relocated.
3. When there is a discrepancy between the camera preview and the actual engraving position.
4. Error code #803 typically indicates that the camera calibration was done with the old cross calibration (whereas the current method uses an 8-point calibration). You will need to redo the camera calibration.

Note：
Camera calibration is required for the initial use of the camera preview function.

Step1 - Confirm the Version of Beam Studio and Firmware

Required software version: Beam Studio 2.3.2 or above.

Required firmware Version: 5.1.19 or above.

Step2 - Preparation

Required Materials:

A4 white paper (to be prepared by the user)
6mm or 20mm wood (to be prepared by the user)
Masking tape (to be prepared by the user)
Triangular Prism (in the accessory box)

⚠︎ If an extension base is installed, please place the honeycomb on the top level.

Step3 - Connect the Machine and Process Camera Calibration

Choose the name of the machine you wish to use. 

Stpe4 - Place White Paper

⚠︎ Notice: For accurate bottom calibration, please place paper instead of other materials.

Place an A4 or letter-size white paper at the center of the work area and secure the four corners of the paper to ensure it lies flat.

Step5 - Drawing Calibration Image

Click "START ENGRAVE" to draw the calibration image.

Step6 - Align Marker Points

Please align the center of the red marker points with the engraved circle.

If the points are all on the top or bottom, please follow the steps below to adjust.

1. Adjust the opacity to the lowest value, 250.

2. If the points are still not being recognized, please move the points manually to align.
Here is the order of the points.

Step7 - Place a Wood

⚠︎ Notice: For accurate top calibration, please ensure the wood is raised to 20mm.

Use Ador Prism Lift at 14mm max length with a wood at least 6mm thick.

Please ensure the Ador Prism Lift is placed in a way that is 14mm high.

Place an A4 or Letter-size light-colored wood in the workspace center, elevated to 20mm.

Step8 - Drawing Calibration Image

Click "START ENGRAVE" to draw the calibration image on the wood.

Step9 - Align Marker Points

Please align the center of the red marker points with the engraved circle.

If the points are all on the top or bottom, please follow the steps below to adjust.

1. Adjust the opacity to the lowest value, 250.

2. If the points are still not being recognized, please move the points manually to align.
Here is the order of the points.
