  • Patent number: 11961770
    Abstract: Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a processing tool. The tool includes a housing enclosing a processing chamber, and an input/output port configured to pass a wafer through the housing into and out of the processing chamber. A back-side macro-inspection system is arranged within the processing chamber and is configured to image a back side of the wafer. A front-side macro-inspection system is arranged within the processing chamber and is configured to image a front side of the wafer according to a first image resolution. A front-side micro-inspection system is arranged within the processing chamber and is configured to image the front side of the wafer according to a second image resolution which is higher than the first image resolution.

  • Publication number: 20240118073
    Abstract: Manufacturing of a shoe is enhanced by creating 3-D models of shoe parts. For example, a laser beam may be projected onto a shoe-part surface, such that a projected laser line appears on the shoe part. An image of the projected laser line may be analyzed to determine coordinate information, which may be converted into geometric coordinate values usable to create a 3-D model of the shoe part. Once a 3-D model is known and is converted to a coordinate system recognized by shoe-manufacturing tools, certain manufacturing steps may be automated.

  • Patent number: 11953877
    Abstract: Manufacturing of a shoe or a portion of a shoe is enhanced by executing various shoe-manufacturing processes in an automated fashion. For example, information describing a shoe part may be determined, such as an identification, an orientation, a color, a surface topography, an alignment, a size, etc. Based on the information describing the shoe part, automated shoe-manufacturing apparatuses may be instructed to apply various shoe-manufacturing processes to the shoe part, such as a pickup and placement of the shoe part with a pickup tool.

  • Publication number: 20240102860
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a six-axis correction stage, an auto-collimation measurement device, a light splitter, a telecentric image measurement device, and a controller. The six-axis correction stage carries a device under test; the auto-collimation measurement device is arranged above the six-axis correction stage along a measurement optical axis; the light splitter is arranged on the measurement optical axis and is interposed between the six-axis correction stage and the auto-collimation measurement device. A method controls the six-axis correction stage to correct rotation errors in at least two degrees of freedom of the device under test according to a measurement result of the auto-collimation measurement device, and controls the six-axis correction stage to correct translation and yaw errors in at least three degrees of freedom of the device under test according to a measurement result of the telecentric image measurement device by means of the controller.
