摘要： High speed high precision alignment sensor systems for use on surface mount component placement machines. Light systems are used to correctly align and position component parts. The sensor system consists of a light source and an optical lens system causing more of the light from a light source to pass the component in order to obtain a sharper component image on a sensor array. Due to the optical lens systems disclosed, either low powered lasers, light emitting diodes, or other suitable light sources can be used in the system since optical efficiency is substantially increased over prior systems since more of the radiated light is collected from the light source for measurement at the detector. The sensor system is mounted directly on the carrying mechanism for the surface mount component placement machine. During transit of the component between the bin of components and the circuit board upon which the component is to be placed, the component is rotated and the sharp shadow which falls on the detector array is monitored. Several processing algorithms are disclosed for determining correct component angular orientation and coordinate (X,Y) location of the component on the quill. Thereafter, the sensor sends correcting signals to the component placement machine.

摘要： The present invention is a light based detection system for providing a low cost, very fast and very accurate measurements of lead positions and heights for integrated circuit board components. The alignment detections systems of the present invention are preferably located on a component placement head. The detector is a linear or rectangular array of pixels. The light path between the light source and the detector array is directed by the optical components across one or more leads in a plane that is neither parallel to nor perpendicular to the seating plane of the component. The light path is directed across the relevant leads without substantial interference from the body of the component or the other leads not being measured. A digital processor analyzes the measurements of the light sensitive detector to determine positions and/or coplanarity of the leads.
