摘要： A high speed, high precision laser-based semiconductor lead measurement system for use on surface mount component placement machines. A multi-beam laser system is used to accurately sense the position and condition of each of the many leads used on integrated circuits prior to their placement on a surface mount circuit board by a pick and place machine. Using two, three or four laser beams, the non-contact sensor system can, with the highest degree of resolution, determine lateral orientation, height, colinearity, and coplanarity of leads for integrated circuit components, even those having an ultra-fine pitch. Determination of the lead position by the invention is based on the integrated circuit leads occluding the light of one or more precisely directed and focused laser light sources. Each integrated circuit lead is passed nominally through the focal point of a laser beam. The position of each lead is determined when it blocks all or a portion of the light of the laser beam. A processor means is used to calculate the actual position of each lead. The difference between the actual position of the lead and the nominal position of the lead can then be computed. The position of each lead is then sorted to determine the greatest deviation of any lead from a best fit line or from the Seating Plane. The processor may then either generate a reject or a repositioning signal to the component placement machine for proper placement of the integrated circuit upon the surface mount circuit board.

摘要： The system of the present invention reports a signal related to a physical condition of an object, such as an electronic component, with the most basic realization of the system including a vacuum quill for releasably holding the object and a motion control system for rotating the quill. The invention includes control electronics coupled to the detector for providing a trigger signal where the detector is oriented to view a stripe in a viewing plane perpendicular to the central axis of the quill, and to provide an image of the stripe. The control electronics sends a plurality of trigger signals to the detector while the motion control system rotates the quill, with each trigger signal triggering the acquisition of another image of a stripe. A processing circuit processes the plurality of images of the stripes to provide the signal related to the physical condition of the object, which can include the orientation or location of the component, the presence or absence of balls on a ball grid array, the height of a specific lead on a leaded component, the distance between the leads on a leaded component or the coplanarity of features on the component. A method for picking and placing components is also disclosed for use with the apparatus of the present invention.

摘要： The present invention includes a system for providing a signal related to a physical condition of an object, such as an electronic component. Various types of electronic components may be used with the present invention, including leaded components, column, pin or grid array packages, and the like. The system includes a quill for releasably holding the object. The object has a major surface defining a plane, and a motion control system for rotating the quill about a central axis. Control electronics in the invention provide a plurality of trigger signals to each of two detectors, each detector adapted to view the same stripe in the plane upon receipt of a trigger signal and to output an image of the stripe. The detectors view a plurality of stripes while the motion control system rotates the quill, and the output from the detectors is received by processing circuitry for processing the plurality of images of the stripes to provide the signal related to the physical condition of the object. The signal may be computed to provide the orientation of the object, the location of a feature on the object, the distance between leads on a leaded component or the coplanarity of raised features on the object. A method of picking and placing components is also disclosed for use with the apparatus of the present invention.

摘要： Methods and an apparatus are disclosed for providing enhanced vibration immunity in a solder paste inspection system, although they are usable in any number of industries that require rapid acquisition of several images. The method includes capturing at least three images on a frame transfer CCD array before any data is sequentially read from the array. The present method is extendable to a larger number of images. Additionally, the masked memory area can be larger than the image area of the frame transfer CCD array.

摘要： A novel inspection system for inspecting an article of manufacture, such as a printed circuit board, is disclosed, where the system includes a strobed illuminator adapted to project light through a reticle so as to project a pattern of light onto an area of the printed circuit board. A board transport responsively positions the board to at least two distinct positions, where each position corresponding to a different phase of the projected light. Also included is a detector adapted to acquire at least two images of the area, each image corresponding to one of the at least two different phases. An encoder monitors the movement of the board and outputs a position output, and a processor connected to the encoder, the board transport, the illuminator and the detector controlledly energizes the illuminator to expose the area as a function of the position output, the processor co-siting the at least two images and constructing a height map image with the co-sited images.

摘要： A pick and place machine includes a vision system for acquiring at least one image relative to at least one component-related operation within the pick and place machine. The at least one image is stored along with one or more trace keys associated with the component-related operation. A database of images and associated trace keys can then be used to analyze operation of the pick and place machine to identify aspects that are out of control, or threaten to be out of control.

摘要： An optical system for computing a height of a target on a surface includes a light projector for projecting light. The light passes through a patterned reticle and a projector lens so as to illuminate the target with an image of the pattern. The light is projected telecentrically between the reticle and the projector lens, and a camera is positioned along a receive optical path. The camera receives an image of the target through a receive lens. The target and the pattern move at least three times with respect to each other, and the camera acquires an image of the object at each of at least three positions.

摘要： A computer implemented software device for estimating background tilt and offset is disclosed to preferably be adaptable to an optical measurement instrument wherein the estimated parameters are resolved to generate a reference plane to be subtracted from a height map of a phase profile. A set of histograms of heights is used to develop a merit function. A two-dimensional high speed iterative search is used to optimize the merit function to generate a reference plane coincident with the spatial tilt of the phase profile. The invention enables real-time measurement of substrate height for preferred use in high-speed image processing operations relating to circuit-board production lines.
