Vision positioning is like installing a pair of eyes on a UV printer. Regardless of whether the product you're printing on is placed horizontally or vertically, it can automatically scan and locate the exact position of your product. Once vision positioning is installed, you no longer need to create fixtures for your products, and your staff's placement efficiency will also improve significantly.
This is especially true when training new employees — without vision positioning, you have to teach them how to position each product according to your fixtures: 'Place it this way, no, that way — it has to follow the fixture.' But with vision positioning, even if you hire a complete beginner, they can just place the product randomly on the table, and the printer will still recognize it and print correctly. As a result, you not only improve your production efficiency but also greatly save on fixture costs — making your work easier and more cost-effective.
That said, having vision positioning doesn't mean you won't need fixtures for any of your products. Due to the unique characteristics of some products, fixtures may still be unavoidable. However, for certain products, I do not recommend using the vision positioning function, because before positioning, the system needs to scan the entire table — a process that takes two to three minutes.
Additionally, since the positioning and printing can only begin after the scan is complete, you cannot load/unload other materials or perform other printing tasks simultaneously. So, while vision positioning has its clear advantages, it also comes with certain inconveniences.
If you have sufficient budget and equip your printer with vision positioning, it will certainly be far more convenient than going without it — because you'll be dealing with all kinds of different products.
