SANXO – Scope HD U4+Doctor AOI Rapid

The SANXO-Scope HD provides a new functionality by running the Doctor AOI Rapid application. The new DOME type lightsource ensures the even light condition and the Doctor AOI Rapid application makes the SANXO-Scope HD a multi-functional equipment. The Doctor AOI – Rapid software uses referential pictures (Golden sample) for defect detection. The applied algorithm was developed especially for PCB inspection, missing or extra component, difference in dimension, angle or colour can be detected with great safety. The SANXO-Scope HD using the 25mm lens on the top position of the camera can see 136x106mm at one shot. Using a special adjustable magnetic fixture the maximum size 265x225mm PCB can be checked with 4 steps.

SANXO – Scope HD U4+Doctor AOI Rapid - Basic Features

  • Sharp live image, high resolution
  • Easy to use with a single mouse
  • One-click documentation and QR or DTM identification
  • Image and Data saving on SSD or on network drive

In use, the application offers basic functionality such as digital zoom and pan, real-time image enhancement and image saving (local/remote device). Using the calibration feature, distance between two points displayed on the screen can be measured using either pixel units or calibrated real-world units. The basic and advanced functions as well as the settings can be accessed by right-clicking anywhere on the screen (see image below).

Zooming

The camera stand allows the user to use different working distance very easily by moving the camera closer or further. If the object distance is fixed then the user still can use the real-digital zoom by rolling the mouse wheel. Using the digital zoom the image is equally very sharp and clear on the full HD resolution LCD thanks to the very good 18 Mpixel camera.

Use the mouse wheel to switch between the zooming profiles. The zoomed area will always be centered to the current position of the mouse pointer. An overlay graphic on the top right corner provides information on the current size, number and location of the zoom state.

Panning

If the currently active profile only shows a section of the camera sensor's image, then the currently shown part becomes movable. Again, an overlay on the top right corner of the screen gives the user feedback on the current state of the pan.

Dimensions

Materials

The 6mm thick Base Plate is painted metal, the pole is standard 40x40 ITEM aluminum profile, the camera holder and the case are painted aluminum and the LCD and mini-PC holder is painted sheet metal. The base plate is covered with a 2mm ESD rubber mat. The rest of the parts of the system are EC complied standard products.

Features

The stand has adjustable holders for both camera and monitor that enable influencing imaging attributes, such as the camera distance, and operating ergonomy. The monitor can be tilted to get the best view angle for the user. Choice of lenses dictates many properties of the setup as the specifications such as focal length and aperture range ultimately define angle of view, magnification and depth of field. The application offers basic functionality such as digital zoom and pan, real-time image enhancement and image saving (local image folder/remote USB memory stick device).

Measurements can be done easily. Using the calibration feature – one click calibration – the distance between two points displayed on the screen either pixel units or calibrated real-world units.

Video recording

The SANXO-Scope HD provides video recording. The resolution and the framerate can be adjusted in the settings. To start or stop the video recording, simply click the appropriate icon in the right-click menu.

HDR

The SANXO-Scope HD offers the High Dynamic Range Imaging function.
This function highlights the details in the darker part of the image (typically if the details are in the shade) or reduce the shiny saturated bright part of the image. There are two HDR functions available. One of the functions is optimized for speed and the other is optimized for image enhancement.

Measurements

Distance

With the Ruler function, users can measure 2D distances between two - manually marked - points. The measurement's dimension is pixels or mm unit- after calibration.

Angle

With the SANXO-Scope HD you can measure angles. The user has to mark the 3 points manually. The measurement unit is degree.

Circle

For measuring circles, the user has two options: a manual and automatic method. With the manual method (Circle by 3 points) the user marks the 3 points, which defines the circle. With the automatic method (Canny circle detector) the user marks only a rectangle area around the circle. The dimensions are in pixels or after calibration in mm units.

DTM Code reading

If the product has identification code / QR code, DTM matrix, Barcode / then the user can use the DTM tool to read it and save the image with a name that includes time stamp and identification code.

Coordinate system

Coordinate system helps the user to make a quick check of the dimensions of the inspected object. Horizontal, vertical or a complete coordinate system can be placed in the image. The microscope system can start with the coordinate system in the optical center (like a crosshair).

2D Calibration

Using the calibration feature, distance between two points displayed on the screen can be measured using either pixel units or calibrated real-world units. The calibration process can be performed using the calibration card provided with the SANXO-Scope HD. The calibration can be initiated by opening the toolbar menu and clicking on the Calibration icon.

The measured distance is given either in pixels ('px') on the sensor or, if a calibration is present, in the chosen real-world units ('mm' by default). You may switch between the measurement modes through the toolbar menu by clicking the 'mm/px' toggle button. The corresponding menu elements can be seen on the right.

One-Click calibration

The SANXO-Scope HD can easily be calibrated using a calibration card or calibration glass. The calibration only takes a few seconds and after that the scope can be used to measure distances accurately in real-world units.

You can have your own calibration card. The setup supports  adding a new calibration pattern, so if you go for higher magnification just print your new calibration card and you can use it directly. The calibration card is used for high accuracy. Its resolution is 0.015 micron. At ca. 140x magnification the 1 micron measurement accuracy can be achieved.

Overlay Graphics

The SANXO-Scope HD provides overlay graphics that can highlight and/or measure certain features for documentation. For highlighting the user can use an Arrow, Rectangle, Freehand and Text box. The user can measure circles, distances and angles. The positions of the overlay graphics will not change if the user zooms in or zooms out.

Advanced Features

There is an optional autofocus function that uses the electronically tunable lens of the Swiss company Optotune. The focal length of the electrical lenses is tuned within milliseconds by applying a control current. These options become available when such a lens is connected.

Focusing

The system provides two focusing options, which can be selected and configured in the Settings -> Autofocus tab.
In Classic mode, the focusing is triggered by a doubleclick on the target image part. Fast and accurate presets are available. When Map based mode is active, the focusing requires two steps. The map creation takes place after a doubleclick, and it takes several seconds. After finishing, you can focus simply by hovering the mouse over the desired image part. In Continuous mode the focusing takes place automatically in the center of the screen.

HDR

With the SANXO-Scope HD, applying HDR (High Dynamic Range) techniques, high dynamic range light conditions that are problematic even for the human eye, can be easily managed. During the process an image sequence is captured, applying varying exposure times. Based on the sequence the camera response can be estimated, and a pixelwise floating point representation can be created.

Image Stacking and 3D functions

The aim of Image Stacking is to increase the depth of field and obtain depth information. An image sequence, taken with uniformly changing focal distance, gives back sharp details for each part of the object. Knowing the image layer which is locally the sharpest of the sequence, a depth map can be created. Based on this information, the layers can be merged to a "superimage" , that has only focused parts. Using the previous data, a 3D-model (triangle mesh and texture) of the object can be generated. The function can be activated with the  "Start capturing a focal/HDR stack" button. The upper and lower bounds of the object can be selected with the two sliders. The number of layers should be around 20. The HDR is an extra option, which should be turned on, if the image has either very bright or light parts. The Image Stacking functions can be accessed in the Right Click Menu:

 Large depth of field image can be generated using a special liquid lens and Image Stacking SW mode

Using this icon you can reload the last large depth of field image generated with the Image Stacking
