The various types of solar cells can differ significantly in terms of size, shape, color or imprint. Automated quality inspection of dif-ferent types of solar cell therefore put high demands on the flex-ibility of the inspection system. Each characteristic of the object to be inspected is taught-in by the default software so that it can be identified with certainty in quality control. Most types of solar cells are taught-in to cell inspection systems which carry out inspec-tions on the cells in module production.

Today, anyone who switches on a kitchen oven benefits from the modern components made of technical ceramics. The material withstands extreme temperature fluctuations, exhibits high strength and is resistant to wear. However, hair cracks, contamination and air entrapment repeatedly occur during production, considerably depreciating quality. Automated optical quality inspection is therefore essential.

Systems for the automated optical inspection (AOI) have become an essential element in the PCB production process for guaranteeing a reliable quality assurance. In order to control the PCBs independently of their layout and assembly parameters, a high-end angled-view inspection is indispensable. However, such a module is not easy to develop, as Goepel electronic knows from experience.

Moritex Corporation has developed a new lens for high definition line scan cameras: the ML-L00502. It offers an exact, high-contrast picture display at a screen diagonal of up to 62 mm, today's maximum applicable CCD sensor length. The illumination drop between the center and the periphery of the field of view is less than 20 %. The distortion of the optic is less than 0.1%.

The integrator Innovative Automation was contracted by one of their long-standing customers, a manufacturer in electromechanical actuators and emission control devices, to design and build an assembly line to produce a new actuator. This unit is a critical engine component; therefore, the client required traceability of the assembly process operations as well as the final testing operations.

More and more automotive manufacturers secure highest precision results, maximum availability and even cost benefits: 3D robot guidance combined with highly accurate in-line measurement technology from one source leads to optimal fitting accuracy of automotive bodies. Using the best-fit method the dimensions of the car body are measured, the components geometry determined and their optimum position calculated.
