  • Patent number: 7672501
    Abstract: A substrate inspection system is formed with an inspection device associated with a reflow process at the end of a series of production processes for substrates, image collectors each associated with a different one of the production processes upstream to the reflow process and an image display device for receiving images from the inspection device and the image collector and displaying the received images. The inspection device inspects a specified number of substrates to obtain measured values and calculates a margin for each component with respect to a specified reference value and transmits to the image collectors and the image display device the component code of the component with a small margin value. The image collectors save the image corresponding to the component code from the inspection device.

  • Patent number: 7406191
    Abstract: After a CAD data and a parts library are combined to produce an inspection data, the set data for the inspection window is automatically corrected using the image of a bare board for a board to be inspected. In this correcting process, an inspection window based on the aforementioned inspection data is set on a bare board image, and then an image in the inspection window W4 making up a reference for setting other windows is binarized, and lands 35 on this binary image are detected. Further, on the basis of the detection result, the set position and size of land windows W1 for solder inspection are corrected, after which the set positions of other inspection windows W2 to W4 are corrected.

  • Patent number: 7356176
    Abstract: When a component is replaced or replenished in a predetermined feeder, mounters 3A and 3B refer to mount data in accordance with the feeder number for the feeder and read out the mounting position of the replaced or replenished component. The mounting position data is transmitted to a substrate inspecting apparatus 5 together with the substrate identification code of a substrate first processed after reel replacement. When the substrate corresponding to the substrate identification code is supplied, the substrate inspecting apparatus 5 refers to substrate inspection data in accordance with the mounting position data, specifies a component to be inspected, and executes the mounting error inspection according to character-string recognition for the specified component. When a mounting error is detected in this inspection, the substrate inspecting apparatus 5 transmits no-good determination to the mounters 3A and 3B receiving information.

  • Patent number: 7062080
    Abstract: A circuit board with lead-free solder is inspected by using light sources with different colors at different angles to obtain an image having a plurality of color components. For each pixel within an area in the obtained image, the brightness of a white component generated by mixing all of the color components is extracted. The brightness of each of the color components of each pixel is reduced by an amount corresponding to the extracted brightness of the white component and is adjusted such that the brightest of the color components becomes more strongly emphasized compared to the others, than the brightness before the brightness-reducing process was carried out and the loss in total brightness caused by the brightness-reducing process is restored. The image with restored brightness is displayed and the surface condition of the solder is judged on the basis of the distributions of the color components of this image.

Inclined surfaces adapted to the light sources (8), (9) and (10) are converted into monochromatic shaded images by the extraction processing. A boundary position between the inclined surfaces adapted to the light sources (8) and (9) are converted into one shaded image having a mixed color of red and green and the boundary position between the inclined surfaces adapted to the light sources (9) and (10) is converted into a different shaded image.
