The STV system is a general purpose lead inspection system for all families of QFP, TSSOP, SO, etc devices.
It is specifically configured and applied to the 2D inspection of SMA/SMC devices from 2 sides.
The technology for lead coplanarity had been developed by STV since 1993, and today it is one of the standard methods for lead 2D measurement.
The mold inspection is based on specific illumination & imaging methodologies applied to enhance the mold edges.
This technology has been developed for leadframe inspection 10 years ago, and is now applied to the inspection of mold compound for voids.
The camera module has the universal adapter feature, to attach a variety of different modules for various package types.
A quick release system with one screw only is used to fix the mirror module to the camera unit.
This way the system changeover to another device type for inspection is really easy.
And the modules have mechanical precision alignment pins or auto-alignment without recalibration after changeover.
Today, the complete backend process requires inspection not only of the lead coplanarity, the total job consist of three inspection stations:
- Marking inspection after the laser mark, and after electrical test
- Mold inspection outside the marking area
- Lead colinearity
Consequently, STV offers the complete system with 2 camera stations (2 vision systems), all integrated into one image processor, monitor and user interface. |
