Milara debuts 2-D Post-Print Inspection software
Article Type: New products From: Soldering & Surface Mount Technology, Volume 24, Issue 3
Milara incorporated, a leader in stencil printing technological innovation,introduces vision system alignment and 2-D post-print inspection powered by Coherix.
The vision system provides two basic functions: fiducial location (used to align the PCB to the stencil in X/Y/Theta) and post-print inspection (used to detect over and under print), utilizing a high-resolution 1,024×768 pixel resolution camera system.
The fiducial location function features state-of-the-art pattern recognition to locate fiducials on the PCB and stencil. Proprietary, multi-stage sub pixeling algorithms provide increased accuracy, and increased robustness is achieved with grayscale edge-based processing.
The post-print inspection function ensures proper solder paste application to the printed circuit board (PCB) with a field of view (FOV) of 63 mm2and an inspection shot rate of <220 ms. Proprietary grayscale-based inspection makes it simple to detect excess solder paste (overprint) and insufficient solder paste (under print).
