Automated Inspection of Electronic Assemblies
Overview
Ensuring the reliability and functionality of electronic assemblies is critical in modern manufacturing. Our advanced camera system provides a fully automated solution for inspecting various connector geometries, enabling precise and efficient quality assurance.
Application and Solution
In the production of electronic assemblies, our camera system was integrated to perform a comprehensive set of inspections, including:
- Pin Inspection: Verifying the presence, alignment, and integrity of connector pins
- Coding Inspection: Ensuring correct coding for compatibility and proper assembly
- Pluggability Inspection: Validating connectors for proper fit and alignment
- Label Content Inspection: Verifying label data, including OCR (Optical Character Recognition), OCV (Optical Character Verification), and DM (Data Matrix) code grading
Multiple cameras were deployed in the system, strategically positioned to capture high-resolution images of critical components. The system processes images in real-time to identify defects or inconsistencies, ensuring production quality.
Performance Highlights
- Speed and Efficiency:
- Achieved a maximum image processing and evaluation time of 1.5 seconds per inspection
- Precision:
- Delivered position accuracy of ± 0.01 mm for traversing axes
- Font Size Testing:
- Inspected text as small as 1 mm font size, ensuring readability and compliance with labeling standards
Conclusion
Our camera system provided a robust and efficient solution for the automated inspection of electronic assemblies. By addressing critical tasks like pin, coding, pluggability, and label content inspections, we helped the manufacturer achieve precision and quality in their production line.
