Chapter 4: Positional Deviation Measurement

4-1 Outline

The gray scale search function and edge detection function* make possible measuring
positional deviation as well as the absolute position.
Purpose
- It is also possible to detect the position of sub-pixel units with great accuracy.
- A rotation angle of 360 can be detected. (When a one point gray search is selected).
Application Used to determine the position of machine parts and substrates.
[Determining the location of the positioning (the fiducial mark) mark that
identifies the position of the substrate]
(1) 1 point search: Detecting the deviation in position in X and Y directions
Reference image: Center coordinates (X1,Y1)
(2) 2 point search: Determining positional deviation in X and Y directions as well
as rotational deviation
Example
Center coordinates (Xb1,Yb1)
Inspection image b: Center coordinates (Xb2,Yb2)
* Gray scale search / edge detection function
Gray scale search: Compares a workpiece image with the 256-level gray-scale
Edge detection:
- The deviation angle q, determined in the 2-point search, is used to readjust the
rotation of the image for measurements 1 to 4.
