A machine vision system () has two laser sources () to illuminate a solder deposit from both sides for comprehensive coverage without occlusion. The camera () has an FGPA () programmed to define a subset of the sensor array () as a region of interest to be processed for each laser source (). This reduces the amount of data transfer and processing required. The image line () is dynamically maintained in the region of interest by adjustement of camara Z position according to warp of the substrate (S).

Machine vision system for measuring heights of items

A closed loop controller ( ) has a measurement server ( ) which captures measurement data from a measurement machine ( ) via a link ( ). It also receives production data indicating which placement machine parts were involved in depositing inspected items, via links ( ). The server ( ) correlates this data and transmits it via a link ( ) to a closed loop client ( ), which generates process engineer displays of the correlated data and generates a control signal for the placement machine ( ). These are fed back via a link ( ) for automatic closed loop control.
