Electronics production
In the electronics industry, increasing miniaturization and high production speeds are accompanied by highest quality standards. Sensors from Micro-Epsilon are used in high-tech production machines and production facilities and ensure that the high quality and requirements in terms of quality and efficiency are met. Thanks to the variety of models and the high precision of non-contact displacement sensors, Micro-Epsilon is a partner in almost all areas of the electronics industry - from chip production to complex assembly monitoring in the production of computers, smartphones and tablets.
3D inspection of unpopulated printed circuit boards
Conventional inspection systems such as measuring microscopes are not suitable as an automated inline solution because the inspection process takes a long time and these microscopes are very expensive. ...
Show detailsDistance measurement in dispensers for adhesives
In order to keep the adhesive dispenser always at the correct working distance, this distance value must be inspected continuously. For this purpose, compact laser sensors from Micro-Epsilon are used. ...
Show detailsPresence monitoring of electronic components
Laser triangulation sensors are used in fully automatic presence inspection of components on printed circuit boards. Very small details can be detected reliably due to the small light spot. The high measuring ...
Show detailsDimensional inspection of fine mechanical structures
In assembly processes of smartphones and tablets, the dimensions and the assembly gap of the gasket are inspected in order to ensure high resistance to water and dust. Measurements are performed with Micro-Epsilon laser profile sensors that provide high resolution and profile frequency.
Show detailsPrint head positioning in laser transfer printers
With printing and exposure processes, the exact height of the print head or the distance from the object to be printed are crucial factors for the quality of the final product. Fast distance measurements ...
Show detailsColor recognition in component sorting tasks
Particularly with automated mounting, components must be sorted according to their color. The colorSENSOR CFO is ideally suited for these high production speeds. Adjustable colors and tolerance enable ...
Show detailsMeasuring the height of pressed-in pins (Press-Fit Technology)
In addition to high accuracy with miniature dimensions, the production of electronic components also requires high speed processes that provide the highest quality. Therefore, many production steps in ...
Show detailsHeight measurement of wafer bumps
Up to now, the 50 to 350 µm small bumps are normally inspected by camera systems during production. The decisive disadvantage of this method is that only the presence or position is checked. The ...
Show detailsMeasuring the coplanarity of IC pins
In SMT and reflow soldering processes, the coplanarity of the pins has to be inspected in order to assure a perfect soldering quality and to avoid failures. For this purpose, laser profile sensors from ...
Show detailsThickness measurement of varnish on PCBs
In order to protect PCBs from environmental influences such as humidity, they are coated with a protective clear varnish. This ensures error-free operation. The automotive industry in particular demands a minimum thickness for this protective coating.
Show detailsLED testing of electronic assemblies during the in-circuit test
colorCONTROL MFA LED test systems are used, among other things, in the electronics industry when quality control of printed circuit boards is performed by in-circuit testing (ICT) in the clean room. The ...
Show detailsMeasuring scribe lines on PCB panels
Scribe lines are pressed into printed circuit boards for separation purposes. Laser sensors inspect the line depth which should be consistent in order to ensure reliable separation.
Show detailsHeat conducting paste application
During the fully automatic application of heat conducting pastes, the correct dosage is a decisive factor. An overdosage of heat conducting paste impairs the thermal resistance, too little paste leads ...
Show detailsAssembly gap of display glass
After the assembly process of smartphone displays, it is important to inspect the mounting tolerances of the components in order to achieve continuous quality in all production batches. Confocal chromatic ...
Show detailsMeasuring the solder-wave height on wave soldering machines
When soldering printed circuit boards in wave soldering systems, the height of the solder wave is an important criterion for the quality of the solder joints. The level of the soldering tin is detected ...
Show detailsPresence detection of extremely small parts in electronics production
Modern optoCONTROL CLS1000 fiber optic sensors are used in electronics production for the automated counting of tiny electronic parts. As the tiny electronic objects move through the light band, it is shadowed. The CLS sensors detect this shadowed area and output it as a change in the analog value.
