To reposition your contour data more accurately, two settings need to be verified.
- Image scale length / width
- AAS offset parameters (X,Y)
To accomplish above verifications, please perform following tests.
Image scale length / width
- Plot a rectangle of 500 x 500 mm, and practically measure the dimensions that were plotted.
- Measure the plot output in both X, Y directions, and enter these dimensions / values in the appropriate plotter menu.
Menu: Image scale length / Image scale width
For instructions how to use the menu / enter your values, please have a detailed look at our User Guide.
AAS offset parameters (X,Y)
How to verify the AAS X Offset, AAS Y Offset value?
- Print a small contour rectangle width the reference marks around it.
- Start the contour cutting task, and verify the contour positioning of the plot window.
Depending on the position of that plot window, adapt the AAS X, Y values on panel accordingly.
Example 1:
The red window is your plot window. As you can see, we have to recalibrate our window in the X and Y direction.
X: + 0.5mm, Y: +1mm
Example 2:
The green window is your plot window. As you can see, we have to recalibrate our window in the X and Y direction.
X: + 0.5mm, Y: -1mm
