The eBook is based on our experience from our first project using robotic soldering in 2018 and a special NPL Good Practice Guide with Dr Chris Hunt using high temperature alloys. In the NPL project we included both contact and laser soldering robots on high and standard lead-free alloys like SnCu and SnAgCu. The authors most recent activity has been with low temperature lead-free Sn/Bi & Sn/Bi/Ag cored wire and standard SAC on a special test board designed for the authors original 2021 Robotic Soldering Experience. More recent work with two suppliers during 2022 and the release of our Robotic Soldering Inspection & Quality Control Wall Charts plus our Low Temperature & Robotic Soldering Defect Photo Library

How cameras deliver sharp images despite changing distances

How cameras deliver sharp images despite changing distances

IDS Imaging Development Systems offers a range of models, from a webcam-like camera in industrial quality to a tiny autofocus camera that weighs just12 grams. The 13 MP autofocus camera uEye XC closes the market gap between industrial cameras and webcams. Setting up and operating only requires a cable connection. After that, the autofocus camera immediately delivers high-resolution, detailed images and videos. With the optionally available, quickly exchangeable macro lens, users can easily shorten the minimum object distance of the camera. This makes it also suitable for close-up applications. Focus from a distance of just 10 cm. The uEye XS is even more compact and fits into almost any application with its size of just 26.4 x 23 x 21.7 mm. Thanks to its autofocus and 5 MP CMOS sensor, it delivers consistently sharp images and videos from a distance of just 10 cm. When it comes to image quality, natural color reproduction and harmonious contrast are also decisive factors. IDS has therefore equipped the uEye XS with many other practical automatic features familiar from consumer technology. This includes white balance, exposure and gain. As a result, it delivers the best possible result in every situation.
