AEi COMPLETES DELIVERY OF PRECISION AUTOMATION STATIONS FOR CELL PHONE CAMERA MODULES
Active Alignment Systems Provide Higher-Precision Assemblies
Wilmington, MA – February 2, 2006– Automation Engineering Incorporated (AEi), a leading supplier of high precision automation systems, announced that it has recently completed a significant contract to deliver over 30 precision alignment and test stations to China for manufacturing cell phone camera modules. Under this contract, AEi provided customized manufacturing stations to automate the alignment operations for key optics and electronics components as well as full functional test of the completed camera modules. The manufacturing stations supplied by AEi were installed by AEi at the customer’s manufacturing facilities in mainland China after fundamental process refinement and validation at AEi facilities in the United States.
According to Andre By, AEi’s founder and Chief Technology Officer, “One of AEi’s core strengths is our ability to use machine vision and other active feedback during assembly and test operations to achieve highest possible product performance and production yield. This is especially important as product components become progressively smaller and with higher resolution devices, such as multi-megapixel camera sensors. Passive alignment techniques alone are simply no longer adequate for these next generation applications.”
