This system provides an automated platform for high-resolution part inspection. Components are manually loaded into custom-built nests installed on Primatics 0.2 micron XY table stacks. The operator selects a recipe and then activates the start command. As the nests are moved into the inspection area, part ID is automatically verified by an onboard barcode reader. Vision inspections are performed by either of the two Cognex digital cameras, with height inspections completed by a class II laser device. Machine guarding is via a light curtain designed to immediately halt or prevent machine movement whenever the light beam is interrupted.
