Imaging Software Is the Key to Application Development

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
A mature image-processing library enables OEMs to develop fast, accurate and flexible application software for sorting microassembly components and for multiple-camera inspection of high-volume circuit boards.

Sarah Sookman, Matrox Imaging, Harefield, UK

To sort electronic components, an operator typically places the parts into a vibratory bowl feeder. When the bowl is switched on, the parts jiggle and separate themselves on the ridges machined on the inside of the walls. Microassembly components, however, are tiny and almost weightless and usually have too little mass for successful vibration transport. Robotic systems or manual methods often lack sufficient speed or accuracy to feed, sort and inspect. With these problems in mind, IMS BV of Almelo, the Netherlands, developed the Vision Inspection Feeding System (VIFS) to fulfil those...Read full article
