[0046] figure 1 A configuration example of a production system of a surface mount line for printed circuit boards is schematically shown. Surface Mount Technology (SMT) is a technology for soldering electronic components to the surface of a printed circuit board. The surface mount line is mainly composed of three processes: solder printing, component placement, and reflow (solder deposition).

[0047] Such as figure 1 As shown, in the surface mount line, a solder printing device X1 as a manufacturing device, a chip mounter X2, and a reflow furnace X3 are installed in this order from the upstream side. The solder printing apparatus X1 is an apparatus for printing paste-like solder on electrode portions (referred to as pads) on a printed circuit board by screen printing. The mounter X2 is a device for picking up an electronic component to be mounted on a board and placing the component on the solder paste there, and is also called a chip mounter. The reflow furna...

[0108] In the process improvement process of the above-mentioned first embodiment, the analysis device Y5 infers the cause of the low quality based on the inspection data, and directly or indirectly corrects the control parameters of the manufacturing device. However, detailed information on the structure and state of the manufacturing equipment is required to identify where the problem exists in the manufacturing equipment, so it may be difficult to identify failures only on the side of the quality control system (inspection equipment Y1 to Y4 and analysis equipment Y5) and the real cause of low quality, or to determine the control parameters of the manufacturing unit. In particular, when the supplier of the manufacturing equipment and the supplier of the quality control system are different, it is often unrealistic for the quality management system to acquire detailed internal information from the manufacturing equipment or write control parameters into the manufacturing equi...

[0149] In the first and second embodiments described above, the process in which the analysis device Y5 performs process improvement on each manufacturing device based on the inspection data has been described. In the third embodiment, a process in which the analysis device Y5 optimizes the inspection criteria used in each inspection device based on the inspection data will be described. The inspection standard is a judgment standard (for example, a threshold value) for judging whether a good product or a non-satisfactory product is used in each inspection item. If the inspection standard is set too loosely, there will be more unqualified omissions. Conversely, if the inspection standard is set too strictly, the straight line rate will decrease. Therefore, it is preferable to set the inspection standard appropriately.

[0150] Inspection criteria used in post-solder printing inspection or post-installation inspection are usually determined for each process. However, for examp...

Abstract

A technique enables an inspection using an actual land position as a reference in a surface mounting line. An inspection apparatus includes an imaging unit that captures an image of a board having a land on which a solder piece has been printed, an image of the board having a component mounted on the solder piece, or an image of the board having the component soldered to the land, a land determination unit that determines a position of an element on the board other than the land from the image of the board captured by the imaging unit, and determines a positon of the land in the image based onthe determined position of the element, and an inspection unit that inspects the solder piece or component on the land using the position of the land determined by the land determination unit as a reference.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to inspection and quality control in surface mount lines. Background technique [0002] The surface mount line consists of a solder printing process, a placement process, and a reflow process. The solder printing process is a process of printing creamy solder on the electrode portion (called a pad) of the printed circuit board. The placement process is to mount on the solder In the process of electronic components, the reflow process is a process of heating and melting solder in a reflow furnace to join components with solder. In a production line that promotes automation and saves labor, an inspection device is installed at the exit of each process to perform automatic inspection using images (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). [0003] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-271096 [0004] One of the important inspection items in each process is "position shift inspection". For example, in the po...
