従来、 クリームはんだ自動検査装置が印刷不良箇所を検出すると、 オペレータ は、 はんだ印刷工程ラインを停止し、 不良と判定された被検查基板上のはんだの 印刷品質を確認していた。  Conventionally, when the cream solder automatic inspection device detects a defective printing location, the operator stops the solder printing process line and checks the print quality of the solder on the test target board determined to be defective.
このとき、 検査担当者が拡大鏡などを用いて目視でクリームはんだ印刷後の基 板を見て印刷が正常かどう力判断していた。 このとき、 検査担当者はクリームは んだ印刷部の形状と、 そのクリームはんだの下にあるパッド (ランドともいう) 形状を比較して判定していた。 '  At this time, the inspector visually inspected the board after printing the cream solder using a magnifying glass or the like to judge whether printing was normal or not. At this time, the inspector made a judgment by comparing the shape of the printed part of the cream solder with the shape of the pad (also called land) under the cream solder. '
この従来の目視検査方法の場合、 クリームはんだの量が少なく、 かすれた場合 や、 形状に問題がある場合には、 下部のパッドが見えるので容易に不良であるこ とが判定できる。 しかしながら、 クリームはんだの量を多く、 だれて滲みが発生 した場合は、 下部のパッドの全部または一部が見えないので容易に判定できず、 不良を見逃すことがあった。  In the case of this conventional visual inspection method, when the amount of cream solder is small, and when the solder is blurred or when there is a problem with the shape, the lower pad can be seen, and it can be easily determined that the defect is defective. However, when the amount of cream solder was large and bleeding occurred, all or part of the lower pad could not be seen, making it difficult to judge and failing to overlook the defect.
また、 クリームはんだはマスク開口部寸法より小さいので、 一般的にはパッド より小さくなる。 そのような印刷状態となるように工程を調整できることが好ま しいが、 工場の技術力が十分でない場合にはクリームはんだのサイズがばらつく ためパッドより大きい場合でも良品と判定しないと生産ラインの直行率 (製品と して合格とみなされる割合) が低くなると言う問題が有った。 Also, since cream solder is smaller than the mask opening size, it is generally Smaller. It is preferable to be able to adjust the process to achieve such a printing state, but if the technology of the factory is not sufficient, the size of the cream solder will vary. (The ratio of products that are considered acceptable) was low.
また、 自動検查装置を用いて検査する場合、 予め設定された面積基準や、 マス ク開口部形状等のデータと比較して厳密に検査するので、 この場合も生産ライン の直行率が低くなり、 生産に影響をきたすことがあった。  In addition, when inspecting using an automatic inspection device, the inspection is performed strictly in comparison with data such as the preset area standard and the mask opening shape. However, production was sometimes affected.
そのため、 自動検查工程で、 不良と判定された基板の画像をモニタ上に表示し、 作業者が目視で本当に不良と判定すべきかどう力判断していた。 そのときに、 上 記のような視認性の問題が生じていた。  For this reason, in the automatic inspection process, an image of a board determined to be defective was displayed on a monitor, and an operator visually determined whether or not the board should be truly determined to be defective. At that time, the above-mentioned visibility problem occurred.
'この発明は、 上記のような問題点を解消するためになされたもので、 目視によ るクリームはんだ印刷の良 ·不良の判定を簡単、 的確に行なうことができるタリ ームはんだ印刷目視検查装置およびその方法を提供することを目的とする。 発明の開示  'The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and a visual inspection of a solder paste print that can easily and accurately determine whether cream solder printing is good or bad visually.查 It is an object to provide an apparatus and a method thereof. Disclosure of the invention
この発明に係るクリームはんだ印刷目視検査装置は、 表示装置と、 表示装置上 にクリームはんだ印刷の拡大画像を表示する拡大表示部と、 クリームはんだ印刷 の拡大画像に重ねて、 予め教示された目安形状を表示する目安表示部とを含む。 目安形状と.は、 表示されたクリームはんだ印刷の拡大画像と比較するための図 形である。 目安形状としては、 クリームはんだ印刷のマスク開口の形状を使用す ることができる。 また、 印刷されたクリームはんだの形状がマスク開口に対して 大きくなったり小さくなったりする傾向がある場合は、 マスク開口の形状を適宜 拡大または縮小して目安形状としてもよい。 目安形状としては、 クリームはんだ 印刷が良好になされた場合のクリームはんだ形状かそれに近い形状を採用するの が {ί利である。 しかし、 これに限らず、 たとえば良品のクリームはんだ形状が円 形である場合に、 その円形に外接する正方形のように、 形状としては異なるがク リームはんだ形状の大きさや位置ずれを判断する目安とすることが可能な図形を 採用してもよい。 本発明による目安形状は、 クリームはんだの形状がその形状を はみ出したら不良と判定するといつたような意味での検査基準ではなく、 目視検 査者に対してクリームはんだ形状との比較対象を提供することを目的としたもの である。 クリームはんだ形状が目安形状と比較して、 どの程度大きさが異なった り位置ずれしたりしたときに不良と判定するかの判断は目視検查者に任される。 このことにより、 それぞれのプリント基板実装ラインの実情に適合した柔軟な目 視検査が可能になる。 A visual inspection device for cream solder printing according to the present invention includes: a display device; an enlarged display unit for displaying an enlarged image of cream solder printing on the display device; And a guide display unit for displaying The reference shape is a figure for comparison with the displayed enlarged image of cream solder printing. As a standard shape, the shape of the mask opening of cream solder printing can be used. Further, when the shape of the printed cream solder tends to be larger or smaller than the mask opening, the shape of the mask opening may be enlarged or reduced as appropriate to obtain a reference shape. As a guideline, it is advantageous to use a cream solder shape or a shape close to it when cream printing is performed well. However, the present invention is not limited to this.For example, when the cream solder shape of a good product is a circle, it is a different shape, such as a square circumscribing the circle, but it is a guide to determine the size and displacement of the cream solder shape. A figure that can be used may be adopted. The standard shape according to the present invention is not a test standard in the sense that when the shape of the cream solder protrudes out of the shape, and is judged as defective, it is not a visual inspection standard. The purpose is to provide the inspector with a comparison object with the cream solder shape. It is left to the visual inspector to determine how much the size of the cream solder is different from that of the reference shape, or if the size is different or the position of the cream solder is determined to be defective. This makes it possible to perform flexible visual inspection suited to the actual situation of each printed circuit board mounting line.
表示装置上に検査したいクリームはんだ印刷部を拡大して表示し、 その表示に 重ねて予め教示しておいた目安形状を表示するため、 クリームはんだ付けの良、 不良を目視で容易に判断することができる。  The solder paste printed area to be inspected is enlarged and displayed on the display device, and the guide shape indicated in advance is superimposed on the display, so that it is easy to visually judge whether the solder paste is good or bad. Can be.
目安形状とクリームはんだ印刷部とは、 異なる色で示すか、 または、 一方を実 線で、 他方を斜線で示す等、 それぞれの表示状態を変えるのが好ましい。  It is preferable that the reference shape and the cream solder printed portion are displayed in different colors, or each display state is changed, for example, such that one is indicated by a solid line and the other is indicated by oblique lines.
さらに好ましくは、 クリームはんだ印刷はクリームはんだ印刷装置で自動的に 印刷された後クリームはんだ自動検査装置で検査され、 クリームはんだ印刷目視 検査装置は自動検查装置でクリームはんだの印刷状態が不良または不良の疑いが あると判定されたときに用いられる。  More preferably, the cream solder printing is automatically printed by a cream solder printing device and then inspected by an automatic cream solder inspection device. Used when it is determined that there is doubt.
クリームはんだ印刷目視検査装置はクリームはんだの印刷状態が不良または不 良の疑 、があると判定され、 目視検査が必要と認められたときのみに用いられる ため、 クリームはんだの印刷検査が容易になるとともに、 既設の検査装置にも設 置が可能である。  The cream solder printing visual inspection device is used only when it is determined that the cream solder printing state is defective or defective, and it is used only when visual inspection is deemed necessary. At the same time, it can be installed on existing inspection equipment.
この発明のクリームはんだ印刷目視検査装置は、 クリームはんだ印刷自動検査 装置と一体の装置となし、 自動検査装置の撮像機能や表示機能を利用して、 自動 検査装置が有する表示装置に、 クリームはんだ印刷の拡大画像に重ねて目安形状 を表示することにより実現することができる。 この場合、 自動検査機能により不 良と判定された部分を目視検査の対象とするとよい。 また、 自動検査装置とは独 立の装置となし、 自動検査装置で不良と判定された部分を目視検査の対象として もよい。  The cream solder printing visual inspection device according to the present invention is not integrated with the cream solder printing automatic inspection device, and utilizes the imaging function and display function of the automatic inspection device to print the cream solder printing on the display device of the automatic inspection device. This can be realized by displaying the reference shape over the enlarged image of. In this case, it is recommended that the part determined to be defective by the automatic inspection function be subjected to a visual inspection. Further, the automatic inspection device may be an independent device, and a portion determined to be defective by the automatic inspection device may be subjected to a visual inspection.
さらに、 自動検査装置の検査結果を利用せずに、 単独の目視検査装置として使 用することもできる。  Furthermore, it can be used as a stand-alone visual inspection device without using the inspection results of the automatic inspection device.
この場合は、 基板内の全箇所を検查するとその間にクリームはんだが乾いてし まうことが考えられるので、 抜き取り検査的に選択した箇所を対象にして検査す るのがよい。 In this case, if all parts of the board are inspected, the cream solder may dry out during that time. Is good.
さらに好ましくは、 クリームはんだ印刷の印刷パターンは C ADを用いて作成 され、 目安形状は、 C ADのデータから生成される。  More preferably, the print pattern of the cream solder printing is created using CAD, and the reference shape is generated from the CAD data.
はんだ付けの良、 不良の判断基準となる目安形状は、 クリームはんだ印刷の印 刷パターンを形成する C ADのデータを用いて作成される為、 正確な目安形状を 容易に生成することができる。  Since the guide shape, which is used as a criterion for determining whether soldering is good or not, is created using CAD data that forms the print pattern of cream solder printing, an accurate guide shape can be easily generated.
なお、 目安形状は C A Dデータの元データに基づいて作成しても良いし、 基板 のパッドゃ良品のクリームはんだを撮像したデータに基づいて作成しても良い。 また、 良品のクリームはんだを撮像した画像上で、 マウスを用いて長方形等の 図形を描く手法により図形を作成し、 その図形を目安形状としてもよレ、。  The reference shape may be created based on the original data of the CAD data, or may be created based on the data obtained by imaging the pads on the board and the cream solder of a good product. You can also use a mouse to draw a figure such as a rectangle on an image of a good cream solder, and use that figure as a guide.

以下この発明の実施の形態を図面を参照して説明する。  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
図 1を参照して、 クリームはんだ印刷目視検査装置は、 検査対象となるタリー ムはんだの印刷された基板を水平方向に移動するための XYテーブル 1 9と、 X Yテーブル 1 9上に载置された基板の印刷されたクリームはんだの状態を撮像す るカメラ 1 1と、 撮像された画像を表示するモニタ 1 7と、 良品はんだの目安形 状を記憶する記憶装置 2 1と、 キーボードゃマウス等の入出力装置 1 8と、 装置 全体を制御する制御装置としてのパソコン 2 0とを含む。 パソコン 2 0に対して クリームはんだ印刷を行なうための元データとなるマスク開口を規定する C A D からのデータファイル 2 2を読込む。 このデータを目安形状として記憶装置 2 1 に記憶してそれをオーバレイメモリ 1 4上に描画する。 この実施の形態において は、 目安形状のことを基準はんだ形状という。  Referring to FIG. 1, the cream solder printing visual inspection device is mounted on an XY table 19 for horizontally moving a substrate on which the solder solder to be inspected is printed, and is mounted on the XY table 19. Camera 11 that captures the state of the printed cream solder on the printed board, monitor 17 that displays the captured image, storage device 21 that stores the approximate shape of good solder, keyboard and mouse, etc. Input / output device 18 and a personal computer 20 as a control device for controlling the entire device. Read the data file 22 from CAD that defines the mask opening that is the original data for performing cream solder printing on the personal computer 20. This data is stored in the storage device 21 as a reference shape, and is drawn on the overlay memory 14. In this embodiment, the reference shape is referred to as a reference solder shape.
カメラ 1 1で撮像した画像は A/Dコンパータ 1 2でデジタル信号に変換され、 フレームメモリ 1 3に記憶される。 オーバレイメモリ 1 4上に描画された希望の 大きさに近いマスク開口を有する CADデータと実際に撮像されたフレームメモ リ 1 3との画像が合成回路 (O R回路) 1 5で合成され、 D/Aコンバータ 1 6 でアナログデータに変換されてモニタ 1 7上に表示される。  The image captured by the camera 11 is converted into a digital signal by the A / D converter 12 and stored in the frame memory 13. The image of the CAD data having the mask opening close to the desired size drawn on the overlay memory 14 and the image of the frame memory 13 actually captured are synthesized by the synthesizing circuit (OR circuit) 15 and the D / D The data is converted into analog data by the A converter 16 and displayed on the monitor 17.
図 2は基準はんだ形状の記憶処理手順を示すフローチャートである。 図 2を参 照して、 基準はんだ形状の記憶においては、 まず C ADデータを使って対象基板 のマスク開口部の形状を計算する (ステップ S 1 1、 以下ステップを略す) 。 次いで、 基準はんだ形状をマスク開口部形状の大きさと異ならせたい場合は、 拡大、 または縮小する処理を行なう (S 1 2 ) 。 このように基準はんだ形状をマ スク開口部形状の大きさと異ならせる必要が生じるのは次の理由による。 FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a procedure for storing a reference solder shape. Referring to FIG. 2, in storing the reference solder shape, first, the shape of the mask opening of the target substrate is calculated using CAD data (step S11; hereinafter, the steps are abbreviated). Next, when it is desired to make the reference solder shape different from the size of the mask opening shape, a process of enlarging or reducing is performed (S12). In this way, the reference solder shape is It is necessary to make the size of the opening portion different from the size of the opening portion for the following reason.
すなわち、 マスク開口部形状が大きいときは、 クリームはんだの形状とマスク 開口部形状はほぼ同じになるが、 ピンの小さい I Cの場合のように、 マスク開口 部形状が小さいときは、 クリームはんだの形状は、 マスク開口部形状よりか り 小さくなる。 また、 クリームはんだの粘度が高い場合は、 マスク開口部形状より 小さくなり、 逆に低い場合はマスク開口部形状より大きくなる。 また、 マスク開 口部のェッジ部分の処理が滑らかでないと、 エツジ部分にクリームはんだが付着 し抜けにくくなるため、 クリームはんだの形状が小さくなる。  That is, when the shape of the mask opening is large, the shape of the cream solder and the shape of the mask opening are almost the same, but when the shape of the mask opening is small, as in the case of ICs with small pins, the shape of the cream solder Is smaller than the mask opening shape. When the viscosity of the cream solder is high, it becomes smaller than the mask opening shape, and when it is low, it becomes larger than the mask opening shape. Also, if the processing of the edge portion of the mask opening is not smooth, the shape of the cream solder becomes small because the cream solder adheres to the edge portion and hardly comes off.
このようにして採用する基準はんだ形状を決定した後、 その形状を記憶装置 2 1に記憶する (S 1 3 ) 。  After the reference solder shape to be adopted is determined in this way, the shape is stored in the storage device 21 (S13).
ここで、 C ADデータとマスク開口部形状との関係について説明する。 図 3 A および図 3 Bは基板上に載置されたマスク 3 1と基板 3 0との関係を示す拡大模 式図である。 図 3 Aは平面図であり、 図 3 Bは図 3 Aの ΉΙ Β— BIBで示す部分の 断面図である。  Here, the relationship between the CAD data and the mask opening shape will be described. FIGS. 3A and 3B are enlarged schematic diagrams showing the relationship between the mask 31 and the substrate 30 placed on the substrate. FIG. 3A is a plan view, and FIG. 3B is a cross-sectional view of a portion indicated by ΉΙ-BIB in FIG. 3A.
図 3 Aおよぴ図 3 Bを参照して、 基本的にパッド部分にクリームはんだを印刷 するためのマスク 3 1の開口部寸法 aは必ずしもパッド 3 2の寸法 bとは一致せ ず、 一般的にはマスク 3 1の開口部寸法 aの方がパッド 3 2の寸法 bよりも小さ くなる。 ここで規定している基準はんだ形状はこのマスク開口寸法 aのことをい Ό ο  Referring to FIGS. 3A and 3B, the opening dimension a of the mask 31 for printing cream solder on the pad portion does not necessarily correspond to the dimension b of the pad 32. Specifically, the dimension a of the opening of the mask 31 is smaller than the dimension b of the pad 32. The standard solder shape specified here refers to this mask opening dimension a ο ο
図 4は検査装置における検査時の処理手順を示すフローチャートである。 図 4 を参照して、 検查時には、 まず基板を ΧΥテーブル 1 9上に搬入する (S 2 1 ) 。 FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure at the time of inspection in the inspection device. Referring to FIG. 4, at the time of inspection, first, the substrate is loaded onto the table 19 (S21).
Χ Υテーブル 1 9を移動して基板をカメラ 1 1で撮像する。 Χ Υ Move the table 19 and image the board with the camera 11.
次にモエタ 1 7上にカメラ 1 1で撮像した基板の画像と、 形状記憶装置 1 6に 記憶された基準はんだ形状を重ねて表示する (S 2 3 ) 。  Next, an image of the board taken by the camera 11 and the reference solder shape stored in the shape memory device 16 are displayed on the moeta 17 superimposed (S23).
次に作業者が目視でモニタ 1 7を見て、 良品かどうかを判断する (S 2 4 ) 。 これを基板全体を検査するまで繰返す ( S 2 5 ) 。  Next, the worker visually checks the monitor 17 to determine whether or not it is a non-defective product (S24). This is repeated until the entire substrate is inspected (S25).
基板全体の検'査が終了すると基板を ΧΥテーブル 1 9から搬出する。  When the inspection of the entire substrate is completed, the substrate is unloaded from the table 19.
図 5 Αおよび図 5 Βはモニタ 1 7上における基板撮像画面において基準はんだ 形状を重ねて表示した状態を示す図である。 図 5 Aは基本的な概念を示し、 図 5 Bは具体的な表示例を示す。 FIGS. 5A and 5B are diagrams showing a state in which the reference solder shape is superimposed and displayed on the board imaging screen on the monitor 17. FIG. Figure 5A shows the basic concept and Figure 5 B shows a specific display example.
図 5 Aを参照して、 モニタ 1 7上には、 形状記憶装置 2 1に記憶された予め教 示した基準はんだ形状 4 1が表示され、 そこにカメラ 1 1で撮像した実際のクリ ームはんだが印刷された状況 4 2が表示される。 ここで、 撮像された基板の画像 を点で示している。  Referring to FIG. 5A, on monitor 17 is displayed a pre-learned reference solder shape 41 stored in shape memory device 21 and the actual cream image taken by camera 11 is displayed there. The status of the printed solder 4 2 is displayed. Here, the captured image of the substrate is indicated by dots.
図 5 Aから、 図中右方向においてクリームはんだが多すぎてはみ出しているの がわかる。 図 5 Bは基板の一部を表示した実際のモニタ 1 1上の画面表示を示す 図である。 図中実線が基準はんだ形状 4 1を示し、 斜線で示した部分が実際には んだ付けされている状態を示す。  From FIG. 5A, it can be seen that too much cream solder protrudes in the right direction in the figure. FIG. 5B is a diagram showing an actual screen display on the monitor 11 displaying a part of the substrate. In the figure, the solid line indicates the reference solder shape 41, and the hatched portion indicates the actual soldered state.
この例では、 はんだ量が少ない上にずれているのがわかる。 ここでは、 一部パ ッドが見えているが、 見えないことも多い。  In this example, it can be seen that the amount of solder is small and shifted. Here, some pads are visible, but often not.
なお、 図 5 B中でははんだ付けの状態を斜線で示したが、 実際のモニタ 1 1上 では、 黄色等の所望の色で表示してもよい。  In FIG. 5B, the soldering state is shown by hatching, but it may be displayed in a desired color such as yellow on the actual monitor 11.
次に、 この発明に係るクリームはんだ印刷目視検査装置を使用してはんだ付け 状態の判断を必要とするためのクリームはんだ自動検査装置について説明する。 図 6は自動検査装置の要部を示すプロック図である。  Next, a description will be given of an automatic cream solder inspection apparatus which requires the judgment of a soldering state using the cream solder printing visual inspection apparatus according to the present invention. FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing a main part of the automatic inspection device.
図 6を参照して、 このはんだ検査装置は、 検査時の基準となるモデル基板 1 3 4を撮像して得られる検査領域のパラメータ (判定データ) と、 検査基板 1 3 5 を撮像して得られる被検査領域のパラメータ (被検査データ) とを比較し、 被検 査基板 1 3 5の各ランド上にクリーム状はんだが正しく印刷されているかを検查 するものである。  Referring to FIG. 6, this solder inspection apparatus obtains the parameters (judgment data) of the inspection area obtained by imaging the model board 134, which is the reference at the time of the inspection, and the imaging board 1335. It is to check whether the cream-like solder is correctly printed on each land of the board under test 135 by comparing the parameters of the area under test (data under test).

Υ軸テーブル 131および X軸テーブル 104はそれぞれ画像データ処理部 1 02からの制御信号に基づいて動作する図示のないモータを備えている。 これら モータの駆動によって、 Υ軸テーブル 131がコンベア 132を Υ方向へ移動さ せ、 X軸テーブル 104がカラーテレビカメラ 105を X方向移動させ、 基板 1 34, 135の表面すベての箇所をカラーテレビカメラ 105で撮像することが できるように構成されている。  The Υ axis table 131 and the X axis table 104 each include a motor (not shown) that operates based on a control signal from the image data processing unit 102. The drive of these motors causes the Υ-axis table 131 to move the conveyor 132 in the Υ direction, the X-axis table 104 to move the color TV camera 105 in the X direction, and color the entire surface of the substrates 134, 135. It is configured so that an image can be captured by the TV camera 105.

次に、 具体的な検査手順について図 7を参照して説明する。 被検査基板 135 に印加されたクリーム状はんだの印刷状態の良否を検査する動作について説明す る。  Next, a specific inspection procedure will be described with reference to FIG. The operation of inspecting the printed state of the creamy solder applied to the substrate to be inspected 135 will be described.
検査においては、 CPU 130はティーチング部 112やキーボード 116か らその日の日付データや被検查基板 135の I Dナンバー (識別番号) などを取 込むとともに、 ティーチング部 112から判定データを読出し、 これを検査部 1 11に供給する (S 31) 。  In the inspection, the CPU 130 acquires the date data of the day and the ID number (identification number) of the circuit board 135 to be inspected from the teaching unit 112 and the keyboard 116, reads the judgment data from the teaching unit 112, and inspects the data. It is supplied to the section 111 (S31).
次いで、 CPU 130は撮像条件やデータの処理条件を整えた後、 検査をスタ ートさせる (S 32) 。 被検査基板 135の供給があれば (S 33) 、 Y軸テー ブル 131上に被検查基板 135をセットし (S 34) 、 ティ一チンダモード時 と同様に画像処理部 102にて各色相パターンの検出を行ない、 各色相パターン とランド位置データとに基づいて被検查データを作成する (S 35 )。 ·  Next, the CPU 130 starts the inspection after setting the imaging conditions and the data processing conditions (S32). If the substrate to be inspected 135 is supplied (S33), the substrate to be inspected 135 is set on the Y-axis table 131 (S34), and each hue pattern is processed by the image processing unit 102 in the same manner as in the tin tinder mode. Is detected, and test data is created based on each hue pattern and land position data (S35). ·
次いで、 C P U 130は被検査データを検査部 1 11に転送し、 この被検査デ ータと判定データとを比較し、 被検査基板 135の各ランドにつきはんだ印刷状 態の良否を判定する (S 36、 S 37) 。  Next, the CPU 130 transfers the inspected data to the inspecting unit 111, compares the inspected data with the determination data, and determines the quality of the solder printing state for each land of the inspected board 135 (S 36, S 37).
判定結果が良であれば情報取得 ·記憶部 122に検査結果を記憶し、 その被検 査基板 135を搬出する (S 39) 。 判定結果が不良であれば (S 38で NO) 、 判定結果を CRT表示器 117やプリンタ 118に供給して表示およびプリント アウトし (S 42、 S 43) 、 その後に情報取得 ·記憶部 122に検査結果を記 憶して被検查基板 135を搬出する (S 39) 。 表示おょぴプリントアウトする 内容としては、 被検査基板 135上の不良箇所の位置、 部品名称、 不良内容等で ある。  If the judgment result is good, the inspection result is stored in the information acquisition / storage unit 122, and the test board 135 is unloaded (S39). If the judgment result is not good (NO in S38), the judgment result is supplied to the CRT display 117 or the printer 118 to be displayed and printed out (S42, S43). The inspection result is memorized and the substrate to be inspected 135 is carried out (S39). The contents to be displayed and printed out include the position of a defective portion on the board to be inspected 135, the component name, the content of the defect, and the like.
この不良と判断された基板について図 1で示したクリームはんだ印刷目視検査 装置を用いて正確な判断が行われている力否かについて詳細な検查を行う。 すな わち、 不良品でないのに不良であると判断されている割合が高いときは、 直行率 が低くなり、 効率が悪くなるため、 検査装置の不良と判断する基準を下げる。 逆 の場合は、 基板としての不良品の発生率があがるため、 基準を上げる。 こうして、 適切な処理がされる基準を後に説明するティーチングモードで設定する。 The board judged to be defective is subjected to a detailed inspection as to whether or not a force has been accurately determined using the cream solder printing visual inspection apparatus shown in FIG. sand That is, when the ratio of non-defective products judged to be defective is high, the traverse rate decreases and the efficiency deteriorates. In the opposite case, raise the standard because the incidence of defective products as substrates increases. Thus, the standard for performing appropriate processing is set in the teaching mode described later.
この一連の処理 ( S 3 3〜 S 4 5 ) を被検査基板 1 3 5の供給が続く限り繰返 し、 被検査基板 1 3 5の供給が途切れると、 被検査基板 1 3 5の検査が終了した か否かを判定し、 終了するまで検査モードを繰返す。  This series of processing (S33 to S45) is repeated as long as the supply of the board to be inspected 135 continues. When the supply of the board to be inspected 135 is interrupted, the inspection of the board to be inspected 135 is stopped. Determine whether or not the test has been completed, and repeat the inspection mode until the process is completed.
次に上記した検査装置の基準を決定するティーチングモードについて説明する。 すなわち、 C P U 1 3 0の制御の下にプリント基板に印刷されたクリーム状はん だの印刷状態の良否を判断する基準を決める動作をティーチングモードという。 新たな被検査基板 1 3 5を検査するときは、 C P U 1 3 0がモデル基板 1 3 4を 用いて検査時の基準となる判定データを作成するためにティーチンダモードを実 行する。 モデル基板 1 3 4は各ランドにクリーム状はんだが正しく印刷された基 準となる基板である。  Next, a teaching mode for determining the reference of the above-described inspection apparatus will be described. That is, an operation of determining a criterion for judging the printing state of the creamy solder printed on the printed circuit board under the control of the CPU 130 is called a teaching mode. When inspecting a new substrate to be inspected 135, the CPU 130 executes the teaching mode in order to create judgment data serving as a reference at the time of inspection using the model substrate 134. The model board 13 4 is a board on which cream solder is correctly printed on each land.
まず、 装置各部を制御して投光部 1 0 3や撮像部 1 0 7をオンし、 撮像条件や データの処理条件を整える。 次に、 Y軸テーブル 1 3 1上にモデル基板 1 3 4を セットし、 X軸テーブル 1 0 4および Y軸テープ 3 1を制御してモデル基板 1 3 4の各所定位置で撮像部 1 0 7によってモデル基板 1 3 4を撮像する。  First, the light emitting unit 103 and the imaging unit 107 are turned on by controlling each unit of the apparatus, and the imaging conditions and data processing conditions are adjusted. Next, the model board 13 4 is set on the Y-axis table 13 1, and the X-axis table 104 and the Y-axis tape 31 are controlled to control the imaging section 10 at each predetermined position on the model board 13 4. 7 is used to image the model substrate 1 3 4.
モデル基板 1 3 4は投光部 1 0 3からの照射光を受けつつ撮像部 1 0 7のカラ 一テレビカメラ 1 0 5により撮像される。 すなわち、 投光部 1 0 3は撮像コント ローラ 1 0 8からの制御信号に基づいて橙色と青色の光を異なる入射角で照射し、 混合した光によりモデル基板 1 3 4を投光する。 撮像部 1 0 7はその反射光を力 ラーテレビカメラ 1 0 5で撮像して電気信号に変換する。  The model substrate 134 is imaged by the color television camera 105 of the imaging unit 107 while receiving irradiation light from the light projecting unit 103. That is, the light projecting unit 103 irradiates orange and blue light at different incident angles based on a control signal from the imaging controller 108, and projects the model substrate 134 with the mixed light. The imaging unit 107 captures the reflected light with a color television camera 105 and converts it into an electric signal.
また、 投光部 1 0 3はその照明下でモデル基板 1 3 4上のクリーム状はんだの 印刷状態を検出することを可能とするために、 発光体が発する各色相の光が混色 されると完全な白色光となるように撮像コントローラ 1 0 8によって制御されて いる。  In addition, the light emitting unit 103 receives the light of each hue emitted from the luminous body in order to detect the printing state of the creamy solder on the model board 134 under the illumination. The image is controlled by the imaging controller 108 so that the white light is completely obtained.
すなわち、 発光体は混色により白色光となるような帯波長発光エネルギ分布を 有する橙色光スぺクトルと青色光スぺクトルの光を発する発光体をもって構成す るとともに、 各発光体から照射された光が混色して白色光となるように各色相光 の光量が調整されている。 That is, the luminous body is composed of an luminous body that emits light of an orange light spectrum and a blue light spectrum having a band-wavelength luminous energy distribution such that white light is obtained by mixing colors. At the same time, the amount of each hue light is adjusted so that the light emitted from each illuminant mixes into white light.
撮像部 107は、 投光部 103の上方に配置されたカラーテレビカメラ 105 によってモデル基板 134からの反射光を 3原色のカラー信号 R、 G、 Bに変換 して画像データ処理部 102へ供給する。  The imaging unit 107 converts reflected light from the model substrate 134 into color signals R, G, and B of three primary colors by a color television camera 105 disposed above the light projecting unit 103, and supplies the signals to the image data processing unit 102. .
この撮像動作で得られた 3原色のカラー信号 R、 G、 Bは、' A/D変換されて 画像データに変換され、 メモリ 1 14にリアルタイムで記憶される。 次いで、 C PU130はメモリ部 1 14から各色相に対応する画像データを画像処理部 10 9へ転送する。 画像処理部 109では各色相の画像データを各色相別の適当なし きい値で 2値化するなどして、 赤色、 緑色、 青色のパターンを抽出する。  The color signals R, G, and B of the three primary colors obtained by this imaging operation are A / D converted, converted into image data, and stored in the memory 114 in real time. Next, the CPU 130 transfers the image data corresponding to each hue from the memory unit 114 to the image processing unit 109. The image processing unit 109 extracts red, green, and blue patterns by binarizing the image data of each hue with an appropriate threshold value for each hue.
また、 C P U 130は画像処理部 109を制御して、 各ランドの撮像バタ ン について明度をチェックするなどして各ランドの位置などを識別する。 この後、 CPU130は各色相パターンとランド位置データとに基づいて、 被検査基板 1 35を検査するのに必要な判定データを作成してこれをティーチング部 122に 記憶して、 ティーチングモードを終了する。  In addition, the CPU 130 controls the image processing unit 109 to identify the position of each land by checking the brightness of the imaging button of each land. Thereafter, the CPU 130 creates determination data necessary for inspecting the substrate 135 to be inspected based on each hue pattern and land position data, stores it in the teaching unit 122, and ends the teaching mode. .

Referring to FIG. 8, in the teaching mode, first, it is determined whether or not a board is registered (S51). If there is a board registration (YES in S51), move to the target land (S52). Next, the parameters are corrected, and the substrate is loaded (S53, S54).
ランドの位置、 種類などを教示する (S 55) 。 教示が終了すると基板の搬出 を行なう ( S 56 , S 57 ) 。  The position and type of the land are taught (S55). When the teaching is completed, the board is unloaded (S56, S57).
S 51で基板登録がないときは (S 51で NO) 、 基板名の選択を行ない、 教 示のスタート操作を行ない、 基板の搬入を行なう (S 58, S 59, S 60) 。 次いで対象ランドへ移動し (S 61) 、 パラメータの修正を行なう (S 61, S 62) 。 これを終了するまで繰返す (S 63) 。  If the board is not registered in S51 (NO in S51), the board name is selected, the teaching operation is performed, and the board is loaded (S58, S59, S60). Next, it moves to the target land (S61), and corrects the parameters (S61, S62). This is repeated until it is completed (S63).
終了すると基板の入れ替えを行なうかどうかを判断し (S 64) 、 基板入れ替 えがあれば (S 64で YES) 、 S 61へ戻る。  Upon completion, it is determined whether or not to replace the board (S64). If there is a board replacement (YES in S64), the process returns to S61.
基板入れ替えがなければ (S 64で NO) 、 修正が終了するまで処理を繰返し、 処理が終了すると (S 6 5で Y E S ) 、 基板を搬出する (S 6 6 ) 。 If the board is not replaced (NO in S64), the process is repeated until the correction is completed. When the processing is completed (YES in S65), the substrate is unloaded (S66).
