  • Patent number: 6580961
    Abstract: A closed loop controller (6) has a measurement server (11) which captures measurement data from a measurement machine (3) via a link (22). It also receives production data indicating which placement machine parts were involved in depositing inspected items, via links (20, 21). The server (11) correlates this data and transmits it via a link (23) to a closed loop client (10), which generates process engineer displays of the correlated data and generates a control signal for the placement machine (2). These are fed back via a link (24) for automatic closed loop control.
