Korea
Introduction
Some manufacturing industries focus on mass production, while others focus on the quality
of the product being created. In the growing LCD market, both quality and quantity are in high
demand. An Advantech customer in the LCD market wanted to increase the quality control of
their LCD inspection process, and decided to focus on the lighting inspections for their TFT
panels. In such a demanding manufacturing environment, upgrading to a flexible PC-based
machine was the only option.
Project Requirements
LCD panels are very delicate products; during the
assembly process the panels have to be treated
with great care. An efficient light tester is used to
confirm correct assembly of the panel, including
the raw panel with driver ICs and the backlight unit.
Furthermore, position adjustments and function
tests require great accuracy and speed. In order to
achieve these goals, the following components were
required:
•
A motion control card responsible for moving
the panels along a conveyor
•
An isolated digital I/O card responsible for
sensors, push buttons, and the handshake
signals between stations
•
Master control card for handling all the
commands
