Vision Profiles
This chapter includes information about the configuration and use
of Ring Search Vision Profiles. ConVision is only available on
systems that have laser engraving capability.
Introduction
Background artwork is applied to products with a certain degree of placement
tolerance. Ideally, the information that is laser engraved should follow the drift in
the product’s background image, so that the final product has background
artwork consistently placed with respect to the engraved data.
To accomplish this, the laser module must have a reference mark present in the
background artwork. The laser module can search for this reference mark at
production time, compute the offset of the actual mark from the ideal mark
location on the product, and then apply this offset to the laser engraved data.
For example:
In this example, the actual mark is offset by 1 mm in the horizontal direction and -
2 mm in the vertical direction. The laser text origin must be adjusted accordingly,
so that the lazed text will fall in the proper location with respect to the rest of the
background elements on the product.
Ideal Mark Location: x=45 mm, y=10 mm
Actual Mark Location: x=46 mm, y=8 mm
Offset: x=1 mm, y=-2mm
Ideal Laser Text Origin: x=12 mm y=26 mm
Adjusted Laser Text
Origin (Ideal + Offset):
x=13 mm, y=24 mm
