Product
Announcement
Testronics Model 505A / 506
Automated Optical Inspection System
Breakthrough
Features & Capabilities
Interactive / Dynamic Inspection with external I/O control
Visual Basic Programming Language added
Multiple cameras
Multiple lighting options
Bar code read and decode through the camera
Algorithms now accept Hugh, Saturation, and Luminance parameters
Graphical utility to quickly create new library parts
Localized fiducials supports fine pitch and panelized multiple images
Optional product covers and interlocks
Panelization utility with individual image rotation
Support for panelization X-OUTS during runtime
Dynamic
inspection capability with I/O control
The Testronics Model 505 / 506 Benchtop AOI systems now
have interactive Input / Output capability to actively control the board
under inspection with the addition of Opto22 style I/O control. This new
capability allows the user to do such things as power up and change the
state of the assembly. A few application examples would be:
-
Turning on LED’s to check the correct color was
installed
-
Turning on lights and checking for brightness
-
Turning on displays and verifying the image changes or
segments are correct
-
Verifying that a mechanical operation occurred
Additionally, the system can monitor input bits
thereby allowing the assembly, [or some other external device] control of
the inspection process.
The 24 channel I/O module mounts to the rear of the 505 or
506 and is compatible with existing systems.
Visual
Basic Test program language
A Scripting Language, [a subset of Visual Basic] has been
integrated to allow the user full control of the system and the inspection
sequence. Examples where the scripting language would be used:
-
Conditional testing
-
Automatic program load based on bar code read
-
Branching to different tests based on prior inspection
results
-
Linking several inspection programs together
-
I/O control of the UUT throughout the inspection
sequence
-
Executing National Instruments style digital I/O cards
-
Communication to factory information systems
Support
for up to 4 cameras
Multiple cameras provide different fields of view and
different focal lengths. A few applications would be:
-
Different focal lengths, thereby allowing very tall
components and very short components to be inspected without any loss
in resolution or focus.
-
Different fields of view thereby providing the ability
to inspect very small components by increasing the magnification or
very large components by decreasing the magnification
Multiple
lighting options
Options are available for low angle lighting as well as
coaxial (high angle) lighting.
-
High angle (coaxial) for inspecting holes
-
Low angle for illuminating the laser etching of IC's
-
Very low angle for illuminating the tips of connector
pins
Bar
Code reading directly through the camera
Bar Code reading through the camera is now a standard
feature. Supports the most popular encoding, including the very small 2d
matrix codes. The bar code information is contained in a variable and is
fully accessible by the program developer.
Inspections
algorithms now accept values for Hue, Saturation, and Luminance
Inspection algorithms now accept Hue, Saturation, &
Luminance, [HSL] parameters as well as the original Red Green & Blue
color channel parameters. The addition of HSL parameters provide the
ability to inspect components for correct color or shading.
Graphical
utility to quickly create new parts for the library
A new graphical software tool to quickly and easily create
Library Components is included as a standard feature. This graphical tool
places a semi-transparent window over the component so that the user can
create, [or assign], a new component in a matter of seconds. Assignment of
(or changing) the library item to all other similar components is
accomplished globally with just one click.
Localized
fiducials
The ability to run multiple images with localized
fiducials is now possible. This capability enables very fine pitch devices
to be inspected on very large boards or panels. Each fine pitch component
or panel image can have its own set of fiducials thereby adding a high
degree of precision to the inspection.
Optional
product covers & interlocks
An optional Product Cover with Emergency Power Off and
Lock Out Switches is now available. Even though the stage on the system
has a very low torque, some facilities do not allow any moving parts to be
accessible to an operator. The product cover option allows the system meet
the strictest of standards.
Panelization
utility supports individual board placement and rotation
Developing an inspection program for a panelized assembly
is easy with any system if the individual images are equally spaced and
are oriented in the same direction. However, this is typically not
"real world". Individual images can be rotated across the panel
as well as unevenly spaced from image to image. The Testronics
panelization utility provides a quick and easy way to create an inspection
program for the most complex panels.
Dynamic graphical representation of the panel and the
individual images (change the layout or number of images and the graphical
representation changes)
Each image can be rotated individually
Each image can be adjusted individually
System
software supports X-OUT capability when running panels
With the X-out button selected, the operator can specify
which image the system is to skip over and not inspect. This keeps the
operator from having to sift through possibly hundreds of failures.
