What it is

The CyberOptics SE 500 X is a solder paste inspection system.[1][2]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

Solder paste inspection systems typically use structured-light projection or laser triangulation to capture three-dimensional measurements of each paste deposit. The system projects a pattern of light onto the board and a camera records the distortion of that pattern from multiple angles. Software then computes the height, volume, and area of each paste deposit from the captured images.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Solder paste inspection is performed after the solder paste printing step and before component placement in a surface-mount technology line. The inspection results allow the process to be adjusted if paste deposits are out of specification, reducing the risk of defects after reflow.

The system sits between the solder paste printer and the pick-and-place machine in the assembly line. Data from the inspection can be fed back to the printer for closed-loop process control.
