Re: [SOLVED]: Nozzle calibration always fails
After understand how the optical calibration works, now it rocks! I was able to calibrate all the nozzle, with a different setup of the video processing effect and slighly changing the vision table (I didn't use the alternate function, so I inserted smaller diameters). Would you be so kind and shar...

Movement Accuracy Evaluation
What ballpark accuracy should I expected from optical home dot calibration and a fully calibrated machine (squareness, slack compensation all enabled)?

Table Color Selection: problems with black
After reading http://www.liteplacer.com/select-a-table/ I figured that a black table with a matte surface would be best suited for the down looking camera as it would provide best possible contrast for white tapes and any color PCBs. Unfortunately the chinese cameras make that a very bad choice. The...

LED Ring diffuser with very glossy PCBs
