For exact distance measurements, laser triangulation sensors are the means of choice. For direct integration into the manufacturing environment, one manufacturer now presents laser sensors with Ethercat and Ethernet/IP interfaces. This combines precision and integrability in a very compact sensor.
To master the main challenges of electrode inspection tasks, namely the speed of the process and the need to identify ever smaller defects, cameras must be able to keep up with the production speed of the machines. This requires a high line rate while providing enough sensitivity to allow the use of short exposure times, and sufficient pixels to cover as wide a field of view as possible.
Until recently, robotics had been used in the individual production steps. Kuka has created a mobile robot that is also responsible for transporting the highly sensitive wafers from station to station. On board the robot is an image processing system from Cognex that is high-performing yet compact in size.
