  • Single camera three-point vision alignment system for a device handler
    Publication number: 20070185676
    Abstract: A vision alignment system for aligning a testing device includes an alignment camera positioned above an alignment portion of the vision alignment system. A lighting system for emitting light onto the device is located in proximity to the alignment camera. A calibration target is used to define a calibration target coordinate system. Three actuators are positioned in a testing portion of the vision alignment system, for correcting an offset between the calibration target and the testing device. A pick and place handler transports the calibration target and the testing device between the testing portion and the alignment portion.
