What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

A machine vision-based coordinate-measuring machine is a metrology system that measures part geometry by imaging features rather than by contacting them with a probe. Machine vision-based coordinate-measuring machines are used to automate dimensional inspection and geometric verification for small precision parts.

How it works

VIEW Engineering systems used video and laser technologies to perform their functions without touching the parts being examined. VIEW Engineering machine vision systems provided automated dimensional measurement, defect detection, alignment, and quality control capabilities.[1]

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Machine vision-based coordinate-measuring machines are typically used in metrology and inspection steps rather than in material deposition or pattern transfer. Machine vision-based coordinate-measuring machines commonly sit near precision fabrication, assembly, and quality verification operations where dimensional confirmation is required before later packaging or integration steps.

Applications

VIEW Engineering machine vision systems were used primarily in semiconductor device fabrication, integrated circuit packaging, printed circuit board, computer data storage, and precision assembly and fabrication industries.[1]
