1. Before creating inspection programs
This section describes aspects to be aware of before creating inspection programs.

1.1 Views and steps

"Views" and "steps" are the essential elements for creating inspection data, and are explained below.
n View

2
A "view" refers to a single field-of-view captured by the camera and is used as an inspection range. The camera moves to
the set position to perform inspection, and so view frames should be arranged on the board locations to be inspected so
that all parts are covered. If converting mount data to inspection machine data, by selecting the "Auto Assign View" check
box in the "CVT" dialog box, views are created automatically based on the step positions. Furthermore, views can also be
created by pressing the [Auto] button in the "view" screen. For details on view creation, refer to section 2.6, "View
settings", in this chapter.

Inspection data creation and tuning

TIP
The view size (field-of-view) differs depending on the lens, and cannot be changed in the application settings. The
standard view size is approximately 44.6 (X) x 37.4 (Y) mm (19 μm), however, view sizes of 24.6 (X) x 20.6 (Y) mm (10 μm)
or 12.3 (X) x 10.3 (Y) mm (5 μm) are also available with an option.

View creation example

23201-P6-00

n Step
A "step" is the minimum inspection area within a view. Inspection is performed inside the step frame (inspection area),
and so it is necessary to create steps at the location of the object to be inspected, select inspection items, and set
parameters such as detection conditions and judgment conditions. All steps required for inspection must be created for
each parts, and are registered as parts libraries.

Step creation example

Library

23202-P6-00

 1.2 Inspection method
This section describes the optical inspection method and X-ray inspection method used by YSi Series inspection
machines.
The models and corresponding inspection methods are shown in the following table.

Model Inspection method

YSi-S Optical inspection + laser unit height measurement *

YSi-12 Optical inspection + laser unit height measurement *

2
YSi-X Optical inspection + X-ray inspection + laser unit height measurement *

* Laser unit height measurement is optional.

n NOTE
The inspection head and board movement when performing inspection differ depending on the model.
Inspection data creation and tuning

• YSi-S
The inspection head moves in the left and right directions, and the board moves in the forward and back directions.
• YSi-12
The inspection head moves back, forth, left and right above the board.
• YSi-X
The board moves below the inspection head.

1.2.1 Optical inspection

YSi Series inspection machines employ a 3-stage dome lighting method, and by arranging a digital color
camera for inspection in the center of the dome lighting, images are captured without silhouettes. The upper
stage uses white light LEDs (R, G, B) and infrared rays, the middle stage uses white light LEDs (R, G, B), and the
lower stage uses white light LEDs (R, G, B). The lighting best able to judge the inspection object clearly can be
selected from ten different types. By selecting the optimum lighting for the inspection object and setting
conditions for showing the inspection object in red, an OK or NG result is judged by comparing the surface
area and position shown in red with the judgment conditions.

3-stage dome lighting

U: Upper lighting (IR), H: Upper lighting

M: Middle lighting
L: Lower lighting

23203-P6-00

2-2
n Detection conditions: lighting selection
Select the lighting best able to judge the inspection object clearly, and specify settings for performing inspection with
only the inspection object shown in red. For each step, open the "LIGHT" tab at the [Inspection Program] - "Step" screen,
and select the lighting detection type from "Luminance", "Color", or "Shape".
This section describes the lighting selection if "Luminance" is selected.
1. Click the image list buttons to the right of the sampling light and reduced light values fields to display a list of sampling
light images.
2. Select a lighting that offers good contrast between the area being inspected and the surrounding area (lighting with
which difference in brightness is clearly visible) from the list of sampling light images, and then press the [OK] button.

2
3. Adjust "Thresh 1” with the threshold slide bar to set the threshold value that shows the inspection area in red.
4. Set the conditions for the inspection object from the area shown in red in the detection conditions parameters.

n Judgment conditions
Set the reference for judging OK or NG for the inspection object detected in red with the detection conditions. The
parameters to be set differ depending on the inspection status. For details on the inspection status, see Chapter 4,
"Inspection status", in this manual.

2-3
 1.2.2 X-ray inspection
X-ray inspection is used to inspect solder joints on lower surface electrode parts and the back fillet of leaded
parts, and solder on parts mounted on the lower surface. Tomographic imaging is possible with digital
laminography, and so height inspection can be performed with height set. Inspection is performed by
compensating for board warp, and therefore laser unit height measurement is used. The resolution can be
changed to 12, 19, 27, and 54 μm for each field-of-view based on the size of the inspection object.

Based on the recognized position results of fiducial marks allocated to boards, the fiducial function corrects
errors that may occur from errors in machining the board outline or from the board clamping mechanism, as
well as board warp. This function is used to correct the position of the entire board by registering fiducial
marks in the lower left (or upper left) of the board as Mark 1, and marks in the upper right (or lower right) as
Mark 2. (Up to three marks can be registered.) If required, register block fiducials or local fiducials after
registering board fiducial marks.

 2.5 Bad mark function
The bad mark function involves affixing a mark (bad mark) to a set location on the board in order to cancel
parts inspection when the mark is recognized by the inspection machine.

Bad mark function

2 Parts are inspected when no bad mark is detected.

Creating inspection programs

Parts are not inspected when a bad mark is detected.

23215-P6-00

The following three types of bad mark are available. Use these bad marks accordingly depending on the
purpose.

■ Board bad mark

A bad mark is assigned to each board, and is used to judge whether the inspection machine searches for a bad mark. If,
for example, there is a mix of multi-board panels, some with defective blocks and some without, being transfered on the
conveyor, it will be a waste of time to search for bad marks on all boards even when there are no defective blocks. By
using the board bad mark function, a search is only performed for bad marks if a board bad mark is recognized. When
not recognized, an unconditional parts inspection is performed for all blocks.

■ Block bad marks

Bad marks are set for each block, and block inspection is skipped if the machine detects a bad mark. If, for example, no
parts have been mounted on block B (defective block) on a multi-board panel comprising blocks A, B, C, and D, a bad
mark is affixed to the board for block B. The inspection machine searches for bad marks on all blocks prior to inspection,
inspection of block B on which the bad mark was recognized is canceled, and parts inspection is performed only for
blocks A, C, and D.
TIP
If block bad marks exist in the inspection view field-of view, by performing mark recognition in the same view as step
inspection without performing axis movement only for bad mark recognition during auto inspection, inspection tact
time is reduced. When editing data, the camera moves to all bad mark positions to perform recognition.

■ Local bad marks

Bad marks are set for each step, and step inspection is skipped if the machine detects a bad mark.

presence of bad marks is judged based on whether the inside of the detection range is reflective or non-reflective, and
therefore a range smaller than the size of the mark is set.

 2.3 Mask function
The mask function involves creating a mask area inside a step, and specifying whether or not to always detect
the created mask area when performing inspection. If, for example, the inspection status is "Parts Check", and
the printed characters on the top of the parts cannot be recognized, using this function, an inspection object
exclusion mask is created at the character position and inspection is performed. Furthermore, if the inspection
status is "Electrode Check" and the electrode and parts are detected simultaneously, inspection can be
performed by creating an inspection object exclusion mask in the center of the parts. This procedure describes
an example in which the inspection status is chip part "Electrode Check", the electrode and part are detected
simultaneously, and an inspection object exclusion mask is created in the center of the parts.
TIP
The mask function is valid for the following inspection statuses.
parts check, electrode check, polarity check, character recognition, solder quantity check, lead check, position
align, brightness level, shape check

This inspection status is used to inspect polarity and so on based on whether the difference in luminance
between two locations lies within the standard range. Three steps are set for comparison inspection, with
luminance measurement performed first at a bright location, and then at a dark location. Finally, the difference
between the two luminance values is calculated, and a judgment is made on whether the value lies within the
standard. The following description takes a luminance difference comparison as an example, however, the
same settings should be specified even when inspecting differences in thickness with the YSi-X.

n NOTE
If specifying settings for comparison with the YSi-X, thickness is measured at two locations with similar settings, and
finally, the difference between the two thicknesses is calculated to judge whether the value lies within the standard.
