Operation
Event-controlled focus position switchover (alternative)
Event-controlled focus position switchover can be used if the autofocus function does not
provide the expected accuracy for the application. Event-controlled focus position
switchover is required in the following cases, for example:
• Conveyed material with a black surface (e.g. vehicle tires)
The laser light emitted by the CLV490 is absorbed by the surface of the material, which
means that the distance measurement may no longer be sufficiently accurate.
• Conveyed material with highly reflective surfaces (e.g. anti-static bags)
• Conveyed material with bar codes on the front edge in the conveying direction. At high
conveyor speeds, the CLV490 can no longer adjust the focus in time.
