Tips for calibrating / aligning the camera

These are the most common reasons for difficulty with camera calibration: The camera doesn’t need to be on the machine for the lens calibration - It’s ONLY the lens and pattern that matter for this part, and the pattern can be scaled up. If you do it on the machine, if you have a honeycomb bed, cover it (bedsheet, paper, wood, etc) - the pattern gets misinterpreted as more circles and confuses the software. The printed circle pattern has to be as flat as possible . Glue it to wood or f…

My understanding is that each calibration is unique to each installation.

Thanks for the quick help. The camera is permanently installed in the glass lid of the laser. I’ve already covered it, of course. I’ve since discovered that the standard cameras work best with the dots, but the dots didn’t work at all with a fisheye camera. And I think it still works best with “Standard Camera System” in the settings and the QR codes. I’ll keep trying my luck. Regards, Falco
