Non-Contact Interface For Pick-And-Place Machines
US Patent:
7552527, Jun 30, 2009
Filed:
Dec 12, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/298937
Inventors:
Michael T. Swab - Acworth GA, US
Assignee:
Assembleon N.V. - La Veldhoven
International Classification:
B23P 19/00
G06F 7/00
G06F 7/00
US Classification:
29740, 29739, 29759, 700229
Abstract:
In an for controlling a feeder or feeder cart used in a pick-and-place electronics assembly machine, non-physical contact transmitters and receivers transfer data, such as feeder trigger signals, feeder ready signals, and component identification and usage information, between the feeder and/or feeder cart and the pick-and-place machine. Wiring or other physical connections between feeder, feeder cart, and pick-and-place machine controls are not required. A common, universal interface between different types of feeders, feeder carts, and pick-and-place machines is possible.
Computer Vision Recognition Of Metallic Objects Against A Poorly Contrasting Background
US Patent:
2003006, Apr 10, 2003
Filed:
Oct 4, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/970960
Inventors:
Michael Swab - Acworth GA, US
Assignee:
KONINKLIJKE ELECTRONICS N.V.
International Classification:
G02F001/01
US Classification:
250/225000
Abstract:
The contrast between solder balls and substrate of a Ball Grid Array (BGA) as visualized by a camera of a computer vision system is improved sufficiently to enable reliable recognition in the poor contrast situation when the balls are silver colored and the substrate background is white or light colored by illuminating the BGA with polarized light, and the camera viewing the light reflected from the BGA via a polarization filter oriented to not pass light reflected from the solder balls but to pass light reflected from the substrate.
Automatic Filter Changer For Use On Surface Mounter Inspection Camera
US Patent:
2003006, Apr 10, 2003
Filed:
Dec 19, 2001
Appl. No.:
10/024788
Inventors:
Michael Swab - Acworth GA, US
Assignee:
KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS N.V.
International Classification:
G06T007/00
G01N021/88
G02F001/01
G06K009/00
G01N021/88
G02F001/01
G06K009/00
US Classification:
382/145000, 250/559450, 250/225000
Abstract:
A printed circuit board assembly machine inspects circuit boards and parts to be mounted on those circuit boards prior to assembly. This assembly machine may visualize and recognize physical features of the circuit boards and parts as part of this inspection. A filter may be deployed while visualizing certain types of circuit boards or parts to remove characteristic defects found in images of those types of parts. When several types of circuit boards or parts inspected by the assembly machine exhibit different characteristic visualization problems, the assembly machine may deploy a different filter for each type of circuit board or part.
System And Method For Measuring Drive Belt Tension
US Patent:
2004006, Apr 8, 2004
Filed:
Oct 3, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/264085
Inventors:
Michael Swab - Acworth GA, US
International Classification:
G01B011/14
US Classification:
356/614000
Abstract:
The present invention provides a non-contact drive belt tension monitoring apparatus for measuring drive belt tension on a drive belt vibrating in response to a stimulus. A coherent light source, associated with the drive belt, generates coherent light which is reflected by a determined region of the drive as reflected coherent light. A light receiver receives reflected coherent light containing vibration information. Attached circuitry processes the output of the light receiver to generate a drive belt tension measurement.
Feeder Cart Used To Integrate Feeder Mechanisms And Surface Mount Machines Of Varying Types
US Patent:
2007013, Jun 14, 2007
Filed:
Dec 8, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/537990
Inventors:
Michael Swab - Acworth GA, US
International Classification:
H01F 7/02
US Classification:
505212000
Abstract:
An interfacing device that integrates feeder mechanisms and surface mount machines of differing manufactures seamlessly. This device includes a carriage to which a feeder plate mechanism is mounted. The carriage couples external feeder connectors from a surface mount machine to the feeder plate mechanism. A number of feeder mechanisms received by the feeder plate mechanism interface with internal feeder connectors to the feeder plate mechanism. Thus, the feeder plate mechanism adapts external feeder connectors to internal feeder connectors, thereby allowing feeder mechanisms of varying manufacture to be used with differing surface mount machines.
Method For Guiding A Tape As Well As Flexible Strip
US Patent:
2007019, Aug 30, 2007
Filed:
Feb 24, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/361010
Inventors:
Michael Swab - Acworth GA, US
International Classification:
B65D 85/00
US Classification:
206714000
Abstract:
A method is provided for guiding a tape provided with a carrier tape and a cover tape through a component feeder. An end of the cover tape is peeled-off the carrier tape. Subsequently, a flexible strip is attached to the peeled-off end of the cover tape by means of a clip. The flexible strip, including the clip, is guided through a cover tape path of the component feeder.
