2.3 Limitations

System complexity
At the time of this printing, version 10.0, build 2, is the released build. It has not
been tested in implementations that incorporate complex multi-axis robot carriers.
For this reason, version 10 will not be supported on these applications until further
notice.
Limitations for calibration
BullsEye 10 can be used to calibrate tools of a variety of shapes. While earlier
versions of BullsEye were restricted to welding MIG tool designs, BullsEye 10 is
also suited to cutting tools that do not have a consumable wire electrode like a
MIG tool.
Here is a list of limitations:
Typical tool designs

1 The tool must be concentric along its centerline. Cylindrical and conical tools
meet this criterion.
2 There may not be any obstructions on the scanned portion of the tool.
Typically, the BullsEye is set up to make scans along the last several inches
of the tool body. There can be no fittings, clamps, set screws, wires, hoses,
or other features extending from the tool body in this section.
3 If the tool does not have a consumable wire electrode, or a wire-like extension,
it must be assumed that the TCP will be inline with the centerline of the tool
body.
4 The tool must have adequate clearance to allow the program to complete all
moves without colliding with the BullsEye scanning device.
