RPS Introduces New 3D Fiducial
Vision Inspection
RPS Develops Affordable and Easy-To-Use RPS
Fiducial Correct™ | Fiducial Recognition and Automatic
Position Correction for High Precision RPS Selective
Soldering Systems
Spokane Valley, WA,
April 2, 2010— RPS Automation LLC, a manufacturer of
precision soldering automation equipment to the OEM,
circuit board manufacturing and assembly industries,
today announced the introduction of RPS Vision Correct™,
a fully integrated fiducial inspection and auto
correction solution for use with all RPS selective
soldering systems. This product option is available
immediately and will be at APEX 2010 | Las Vegas.
Reid Henry,
Engineering Director for RPS, stated, “this is a major
leap forward in ease of use, affordability and
performance. Engineered specifically for RPS selective
soldering, our new fiducial inspection package will
enable automated high precision soldering accuracy which
is so important to RPS customers.”
RPS Fiducial Correct
uses stored images to validate known fiducial points and
other indicators. The soldering process will stop if
fiducial patterns are not found— preventing damage to
high value PCB’s that may be improperly loaded.
Fiducial Correct will also identify position errors of
detected fiducials and use correction algorithms to
adjust the soldering program by the X and Y axes deltas.
“This new vision
correction system is fast, accurate and easy to use.
This is another RPS engineering innovation that sets RPS
selective soldering apart in performance and ease of
use,” said Reed Gaither, CEO of RPS Automation.
