UltraVision – Benchtop System

The new generation of AOI from DCB Automation

UltraVision offers the most comprehensive inspection facilities coupled with user friendly software providing the builder with confidence that the boards manufactured are in accordance with the specification and quality requirements. The UltraVision family of AOI machines are an all encompasing system as standard. Due to this there is only one option: Bench Top or Inline.

Specification

(click on each point show/hide detail)

• *5M pixel colour CCD camera – 11.7µM resolution

  UltraVision is fitted with a 5M pixel camera as standard (4MP camera is optional to maintain compatibility with existing systems). With a suitable lens we achieve a resolution of 11.7µM and a field of view (FOV) of 23.5mm X 23.5mm, which allows inspection down to components with case size 01005 and leg pitches of 0.3mm.

• *Telecentric lens ensuring no image distortion

  To eliminate distortion, and allow for the stitching of images, telecentric lenses are used. Telecentric lenses have a limited field of view but ensure parallel light from the object (in our case this is the board under inspection) is still parallel when it reaches the sensor of the camera.

• *Standard inspection area of 475mm X 450mm

  Our standard tooling tray will accommodate boards or panels up to 475mm X 450mm. Support is provided around the tooling tray to allow for the accurate positioning and re-positioning of boards under inspection. The tooling tray is located inside a drawer unit for ease of loading and unloading of products. In addition a complete set of adjustable tooling is included to aid board location.

• *Laser height profiling

  To complement optical inspection the laser will confirm uncertainties related to leg distortion or inadequate soldering on IC type components. In addition component co-planarity can be verified. To compensate for board distortion referance points are measured close to the component being inspected. The laser has a resolution of 12µM.

• *Automatic barcode reading

  UltraVision can directly read a wide range of 1D and 2D barcodes to ensure complete product traceability.

• *Multi-coloured LED lighting facilitating solder profile display and analysis

  Our standard light board assembly has white, blue and red rings of LEDs. For general component inspection we use the white ring and for solder inspection we use a mix of blue and red LEDs. By combining the reflected light we are able to build up a solder profile and determine the overall quality of the joint. As a further guide we also show a graphical representation of the profile.

• *Intuitive and easy to use software developed by DCB Automation for rapid program

  In addition to a comprehensive set of modules used in the automatic inspection process there are additional facilities including comparator inspection, first off inspection, prototype assembly, inspected board images and a comprehensive set of down loads for statistical analysis. A detailed description of the software modules can be down loaded *see Down Loads*.

• *Panel Mounted Printer

  A panel mounted tally roll printer is provided to give local details of board faults. The ability to download data over a network is not affected.

• *Off line software for programming and rework facilities

  As standard, an off line software package is provided with EasyVision. Both programming and fault reviews can be carried out off line. To program a new board, it is only necessary to image the board on EasyVision and down load those images to the off line facility. This new board can then be programmed without interrupting general inspection. On completion it can then be transferred back to the inspection system for optimisation and later use. All fault reviews can be performed off line; both the master image and image under test are presented to the operator. Our off line software allows the user to re-test components allowing them the option of evaluating changes which would affect the result thus affording them opportunity to adjust the main inspection program if necessary.

• *Unlimited UK support

  A 3 day training period is included in the standard quotation. We normally recommend an initial 2 day period with a further day being taken after approximately 4 weeks. We would normally only recommend a maximum of 2 operators being trained at any one time. Unlimited telephone support is always available from our offices. To further support our products contract maintenance for both hardware and software can be taken out at any time after installation.

• *High Specification Windows Based Computer

  UltraVision is supplied with PC including a multicore Intel processor running at >3MHz and a pair of 1TB Hard Drives in Raid 0 configuration for performance.
