Industrial 3D Imaging Application for 3C Industry

Introduction 

With the development of digitalization, the use of mobile phones and smart watches are rapidly increasing, and the manufacturers start mass production of mobile phones and smart wearable to meet the market demand. Mobile devices are composed of different materials and components and must be manufactured for the finest quality. Therefore, quality control, to a large extent, determines the quality of consumer devices.

To meet the high requirement in production, 3D imaging is a procedure to develop or create the illusion of depth in an image. 3D imaging has become a very practical factor for industrial applications to help in quality control processes.

Assembly Line Inspection

3D vision systems ensure that no potential obstructions in the module mounting area. The 3D imaging system measures the height dimensions for a complex and transparent camera assembly. It estimates the height and detects the smallest dents to micron-level accuracy. Most importantly, 3D vision systems verify all components are properly installed and meet quality requirements for the market. 

PCB Inspection

3D machine vision systems inspect PCBs for the proper number, size, and placement of components. It can also identify components based on distinguishing features and learns their correct location on the board. In addition, 3D imaging system can accurately detect the skew of individual chips in a tray.

Tiny Parts Inspection

Consumer products consist of hundreds of thousands of tiny parts and 3D imaging systems can help to optimize the production processes. 3D imaging system assesses glue adhesion volume dimensions and position on the part. On the other hand, it inspects connector pins to ensure they are manufactured to strict tolerances to optimize product quality. It also determines with high precision whether the height of the parts is outside the accepted range. 

Conclusion 

3D imaging systems are a feasible technology to improve product quality and optimize the production processes. The systems are not only to satisfy the basic requirement in the production line, but also meet the requirements of high precision manufacturing. SmartMore helps manufacturers optimize productivity, improve manufacturing yields, reduce machine downtime and solve the challenges of 3D Inspection.
