  • Patent number: 6477266
    Abstract: A vision comparison inspection system is disclosed for use in a printed circuit assembly production line having a plurality of component processing locations and a conveyor system for transporting circuit assemblies between processing locations in an upstream to downstream work flow direction. The vision comparison inspection system includes a printed circuit assembly image capture and inspection conveyor disposed in the production line, the image capture and inspection conveyor being adapted to receive printed circuit assemblies from an upstream portion of the production line and to transport the printed circuit assemblies to a downstream portion of the production line for subsequent processing. An electronic imaging device is fixedly positioned to capture an image of a printed circuit assembly located on the image capture and inspection conveyor. A lighting system is mounted for illuminating a printed circuit assembly located in the field of view of the imaging device.
    Type: Grant
