Calibrating the scanner
NOTE
Always calibrate scanner with window sleeve (standard sleeve) or
autoclavable sleeve
The scanner must always be calibrated with the window sleeve
(standard sleeve) or autoclavable sleeve.
➢ Do not use the disposable sleeve for calibration.
The measurement procedure used by the system requires the use of a
calibrated scanner. The scanner is calibrated ex works. Calibrate the
scanner after every re-installation and after each time that it is
transported.
The 3D calibration set supplied is available for the calibration process.
In order to achieve optimum results, the Primescan scanner must be
allowed to warm up for 2 minutes before calibration.
Recalibrate the scanner in the following cases:
● following transport (shaking stress) or during first commissioning,
● after storage in unheated or un-air-conditioned rooms (temperature
differences exceeding 30°C / 85°F),
● with temperature differences of over 15°C / 60°F between the last
calibration and operation.
● In general, carrying out a calibration is the correct process in the
event of errors in the acquisition process (such as poor image
quality or the lack of a 3D preview). In many cases, the errors can
be corrected in doing so.
● As the system may be exposed to vibration loads without knowledge
of this, it should be calibrated once a month.
