OpenPnP: Nozzle Tip Changer Vision & Z Calibration, Part Height Sensing

Made a new OpenPnP Pull Request that adds Nozzle tip changer XY and Z calibration using vision and probing. Used to calibrate the nozzles and nozzle tips to be able to precisely contact probe part heights, feeder heights and placements. Also adds Auto-Focus based part height sensing for parts with enabled bottom vision.

Main Features

  • Vision calibrated nozzle changer slot locations (XY) based on template images. Also detects nozzle changer slot empty/occupied status and prevents collisions.
  • Manual and automatic nozzle/nozzle tip/slot Z calibration for precision multi-nozzle leveling and nozzle tip length calibration.
  • Adds Auto-Focus in front of Bottom vision to determine the part height, if unknown.
  • ContactProbeNozzle provides on-the-fly part height probing/learning, feeder Z calibration, placement height calibration.
