Flexible Automation Camera Module Align, Assembly, and Test Stations
Being Delivered to Europe By AEi
Flexible Automation Systems Power Precision Camera Module
Alignment, Assembly & Test for the Luxury Automotive Market
WILMINGTON, Mass. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) October 18, 2007 --
Automation Engineering Incorporated
(AEi), a global supplier of high-precision, flexible automation systems (www.aeiboston.com/precision_automation.htm),
developed an enhanced version of its CMAT (Camera Module Align, Assembly
& Test) manufacturing system for four different European automotive
manufacturers. The CMAT automation system (www.aeiboston.com/download/AEi_CMAT.pdf),
which utilizes machine vision, will be both a development and high
volume production tool for multi-camera vehicle systems used in luxury
automobiles.
According to AEi Chief Technology Officer Andre By, “We’ve
enhanced our camera module align, assembly and test station to support a
wider range of camera types and styles. We’ve
also augmented its available 5-degree of freedom alignment stages to
support even higher precision requirements with our advanced alignment
algorithms (www.aeiboston.com/flexauto.htm),
plus extended our set of available options including automated dispense,
fully automated material handling, automated align and test targets
positioning, laser marking, and an even more comprehensive suite of
configurable test functions. This enables our customers to use either
semi-automated or fully-automated precision alignment, attach and test
to produce high-quality sophisticated cameras at reduced cost versus
traditional manual and automated manufacturing methods,”
concluded By.
The CMAT flexible automation system uses machine vision to align a lens
assembly in X, Y, Z and across the corners in pitch and roll, achieving
an even focus across its focal plane. The CMAT station uses this
approach to achieve camera module alignment, assembly and test at
production rates that are 500 to 1000 percent faster than using manual
methods.
