Application
Requirements:
- Extensive design
for manufacturing (DFM) collaboration
- Failure mode event
analysis (FMEA) to minimize program risk
- Adhesive evaluation
and experiments to optimize process
- 5 Degrees of Freedom (DOF) active alignment
for improved product performance
- Configurable and
customizable align and test targets
- Adaptable to different
camera sensors
- Automated epoxy
dispense
- Configurable UV
cure wands for optimal epoxy cure
The application requirements include 5 degree of freedom (5 DOF) alignment of
lens assemblies to image sensors in digital cameras
to achieve required alignment tolerances while keeping
manufacturing costs down. Environmental conditions
in automotive applications -- including a wide range
of service temperatures and high shock and vibration
conditions -- require a very reliable and uniform alignment
and assembly process. AEi’s flexible automation systems
enabled the customer to develop and produce compact,
high image quality cameras within very short development
and deployment cycles. |
