Abstract

This article focuses on the application of a vision system for a point to point programing of a robotized soldering station. The station is used in the last stage of production for the soldering of elements, applying Through-Hole Technology (THT). In the soldering station a SCARA-type robot is used. The main aim of the usage of the vision system is to extract pads from the image of a printed circuit board (PCB), and to obtain the coordinates of central point of every pad. These coordinates are used in the soldering program, prepared for a robot. In the paper the PCB pictures processing algorithm is described. The results of practical investigations on pads coordinates recognition are presented and finally their application in the robot program is shown.
