Titel
Flexible inline low cost inspection station
Abstract
A possibility to reduce the investment costs is an improved functionality of the inspection station in order to awaken investors' interest to buy. A new concept for 2-D and 3-D metric and logical quality monitoring with a more accurate, flexible, economical and efficient inspection station has been developed and tested at IITB. The inspection station uses short- and wide-range sensors, an intelligent grip system and a so-called "sensor magazine" which make the inspection process more flexible. The sensor magazine consists of various sensor ports with various task-specific, interchangeable sensors. With the sensor magazine and the improved measuring methods, the testing periods and therefore the costs in factory can be substantially decreased.
