Automated inspection of die cast aluminium before bonding

In manufacturing processes of cast parts release agents are used. However, in subsequent processes such as the bonding of sealing grooves, release agent residues lead to insufficient adhesion of the bonding joint.

By inspecting the cleanliness of a sealing groove via Fluorescence measurement, the quality of the bonding joint is ensured.

Inspection of printed circuit boards

To meet the high quality requirements of bonding and soldering processes, pads have to be free of organic contamination. By scanning the pads, cleanliness can be controlled to ensure the quality of the soldering or bonding process.

Defects can be identified at an early stage and thus, rejects and expensive system failures can be prevented.

The measuring method uses the characteristic of organic substances to fluoresce. UV light is focused and radiated onto the surface. The contamination fluoresces. The intensity of the fluorescence increases with the layer thickness of the contamination. The intensity is measured in RFU: Relative Fluorescence Unit.

The lower the measuring value in RFU, the cleaner the surface.
