Chapter 26: Fixturing in MIL

This chapter describes the technique of fixturing and how to apply it.

• Fixturing in MIL
• Steps for fixturing
• Basic concepts for fixturing
• Calibrating your image for fixturing
• Moving the relative coordinate system
• • Moving using a model
  • Moving using a metrology reference frame
  • Moving using a position and angle expressed in a specified relative coordinate system
  • Moving using a position and angle that are with respect to the absolute coordinate system
  • Copying the new relative coordinate system to other images
  • Displacing the relative coordinate system of parent and child buffers
• Fixturing offset
• • Moving the reference location prior to searching
  • Using a fixturing offset object
  • • Establishing the positional and angular offset for the fixturing offset object
• After fixturing
• • Inputting values in real-world units
  • Results in world units
  • Restricting processing/analysis to a region of interest defined in world units
  • Transforming your images after fixturing
