Tips & Tricks for JobControl® Vision

A camera on the working head of the laser reads the registration marks printed on the plate material. Distortions in the print are detected and compensated and the material is precisely cut. This improves production times while saving time and costs incurred by incorrect cuts.

For an optimal work flow, follow the instructions below to create the graphics:

• Separate planes for graphics, registration marks and cutting lines
• Registration marks: 6mm diameter, black outline with line thickness hairline, black filling, circle
• Ensure that Bezier curves are sent to the printer via the settings for the printer driver in your graphics program

Connect the JobControl^® with the laser.

Place the job on the plate and adjust this to the position of the paper in the laser. For this move the laser pointer toward the centre on an arbitrary registration mark and drag this to the cross-hair in in JobControl^®.

Tip: Use the preview function WYSIWYG in JobControl^® to facilitate the placement.

Click on “Start.”
The JobControl^® Vision run screen will appear.
When the position and the alignment of the laser order in JobControl^® correspond with the position of your material on the working surface, JobControl^® reads all registration marks and cuts the order automatically.

When the position does not correspond, you must interact with the system and show it the position of the first registration mark. To do this position the camera with the keypad on the laser, placing the software arrow keys or the arrow keys on the computer keyboard over the first registration mark. If the bar below the camera display is green, confirm with Enter. If the print is distorted, you must show the system the second registration mark if necessary. The remaining registration marks are then recognised automatically.
