Vision
Published on 21-Aug-2008
The MG-1R works with several types of vision tools. The standard MG-1 is equipped with a fiducial camera for fiducial recognition and bad mark sensing. This camera can also be used as a highly accurate teaching device for PCB data (if CAD data is not available), automatic calibration and inspection purposes. For component alignment, a line array camera is available as standard. In addition to these standard cameras, the underneath optional cameras can be configured.
Side view camera
A side view camera system is available for use in combination with the line
array camera. It is especially useful for small components and has no
effect on recognition time. It offers quality enhancement by:
- improving pick and mounting reliability (bring back check)
- detecting component presence and orientation at the nozzle in Z
direction.
Second line array camera
A second line array camera reduces head beam travel thus shortening the
mounting cycle time on boards with a high unique component count. It:
- improves output for components picked from rear feeders
- mounted on rear between two 24-position feeder bars.
3D vision system
In combination with the line array camera, an on-the-fly 3D vision system
checks the co-planarity of any leaded component or the individual ball
height for BGA components with minimal speed penalty. It:
- measures the co-planarity of QFPs and BGAs
- provides a cost-effective 3D vision system solution
- checks co-planarity on the fly.
