2. Functions and effects

(1) Core function

PCB global positioning

Identify the fiducial mark on the PCB and calculate the precise position of the PCB in the device coordinate system.

Compensate for PCB offset (X/Y/θ direction) caused by processing error, fixture deviation or thermal deformation.

Panel alignment

Supports local Mark point recognition of multi-panel PCB to ensure consistent placement accuracy of each small board.

Defective board detection

Can be configured to detect PCB warping, corner missing, Mark point oxidation and other defects.

(2) Workflow

After the PCB is loaded, the camera moves to the preset Mark point position.

Take the Mark point image and calculate the deviation between the actual position and the theoretical position of the PCB through the algorithm.

Send the deviation data to the placement machine control system to globally correct the placement coordinates of all components.

3. Core features

Feature Description

High-precision positioning Sub-pixel algorithm, positioning accuracy can reach ±10μm (related to the mechanical accuracy of the equipment)

Wide field of view compatibility Can identify Mark points of different shapes (circular, cross, square, etc.)

Adaptive lighting Intelligently adjust the brightness of the light source to adapt to reflective/matte PCB surfaces (such as copper foil and ink)

High-speed processing Millisecond-level image processing, does not affect the placement machine beat (CPH)

Anti-interference design Anti-electromagnetic interference (EMI), anti-vibration, adapt to factory environment

4. Common faults and solutions

Fault phenomenon Possible cause Solution

Mark point recognition failed Insufficient light source brightness/Mark point pollution 1. Adjust the light source brightness

2. Clean the PCB Mark point

Blurred image Lens pollution or focus offset 1. Clean the lens with a dust-free cloth

2. Recalibrate the focus

Communication interruption (no image) Loose cable/interface oxidation 1. Replug the GigE cable

2. Replace the damaged cable

Large positioning error Calibration parameter offset/Mark point design does not match 1. Recalibrate the camera

2. Check PCB design files

Camera overheating Poor heat dissipation or continuous overload operation 1. Check the cooling fan

2. Pause device cooling

5. Maintenance methods

(1) Daily maintenance

Daily:

Check whether the camera lens is dusty or stained, and clean it with a dust-free cloth + isopropyl alcohol.

Confirm whether the light source brightness is uniform (no flickering or dark areas).

Weekly:

Check whether the data cable and power cable are firmly connected.

(2) Regular calibration

Monthly:

Use a standard calibration board (such as ASM 03101400) for optical calibration.

Check the threshold parameters of the mark point recognition algorithm.

Quarterly:

Back up camera parameters to prevent data loss.

(3) Long-term maintenance

Yearly:

Contact ASM official or authorized service provider for in-depth inspection, including:

Optical system performance test

Cooling system cleaning (such as fans, vents)

6. Repair ideas

(1) Basic troubleshooting

Observe the status indicator light (green light when normal, red light/flashing when faulty).

Check the ASM SIPLACE system error log (such as "Vision Error 3402").

(2) Hardware repair

Replacement parts:

Lens scratches → Replace the optical lens assembly (ASM P/N: 03101403).

Light source damage → Replace the LED module (ASM P/N: 03101404).

Firmware upgrade:

Update the camera driver or vision algorithm through the ASM Service Hub.

(3) Professional support

If the fault cannot be solved, contact ASM technical support or an authorized repair center.

7. Summary

ASM PCB Camera No. 34 (03101402) is a core component to ensure the global placement accuracy of PCBs. Its high resolution, intelligent light source and fast algorithm can effectively compensate for PCB manufacturing and clamping errors. The risk of production interruptions can be significantly reduced through regular cleaning, calibration and preventive maintenance.
