PCB-Artwork and Bare-Boards

Inspection and process control for maintaining quality assurance over PCB artwork and bare-boards represent especially challenging requirements for metrology systems. Artwork inspection requires precise measurement of critical features such as the positions of leads and pads, while bare-board inspection also involves accurate assessment of hole locations, size, trace widths, board length, width, and warpage. In addition to requiring consistent measurement accuracy over relatively large areas of travel, bare-boards also can pose difficult surface features that necessitate sophisticated lighting capabilities.

Proven VIEW Engineering systems, such as the large stage platform Summit, with PRL lighting, advanced optics, and flexible programming capabilities, provide an ideal environment for implementing near in-line PCB artwork and bare-board inspection.
