86 SMT007 MAGAZINE I NOVEMBER 2018 it apart is the 3D·ViewZ camera module, which combines various measurement and inspec- tion technologies for maximum fault detec- tion. In addition to the 3D measurement based on structured light, the module also includes cameras for angled-view inspection. Both 3D projections and 2D inspections are possible in 360° steps, which guarantees max- imum fault detection even in critical component situations. 3D·ViewZ is available both in the in-line system—Vario Line·3D—and in the stand-alone system—Basic Line·3D. Intelligent Algorithms in the Background Automatic generation of programs using MagicClick begins in the first step with the import of insertion and Gerber data. If avail- able, the ODB++ format is also a suitable option. Therefore, this step includes both component parameters—name, position, item number, etc.—and information on the layout and pad. However, detailed information is not available about the housing and the solder joint. This is where a 3D AOI system shines. Unlike the 2D technology, where each pixel merely represents a brightness value, a height value can be assigned to each pixel with 3D technol- ogy. Thus, it is possible to automatically create an exact replica of the respective housing, including the solder joint. In the next step, this information is accurately used to determine the particular housing shape based on intelligent algorithms and assign all the test functions necessary. At the same time, the test program is created, and a component library is auto- matically generated based on item numbers.
