Robotic Eye Inside Pipe (REIP) - View Into Unreachable Place

Home-grown small pipeline inspection system to inspect pipeline interiors welding quality for pharmaceutical industry and food industry, diameter range from 12 mm to 75 mm.

Non-destructive video inspection is required from recent government law enforcement to above industry to increase safety standard and environmental contamination control on above industry facility pipe line and sewage system.

Video evident of the interiors of pipelines for welding defects such as surface discontinuity, corrosion fatigue cracking, creep of dissimilar weld joints and piping conditions such as leakage and blockage is done yearly by pipe line inspection service’s consultant company.

TE 8000 – Wafer Stencil Inspection System

This project is continue research and enhanced from ASIS PCB, Advance Stencil Inspection System in order to achieve new capabilities:
- System able to inspect 1 million apertures, with 1 time scan 8x8 inch wafer disk, by 3200dpi resolution and its accuracy achieve 7um
- System able to inspect 1 million apertures, with 1 time scan 12x12 inch wafer disk, by 2400dpi, resolution and its accuracy achieve 11um

* This project was awarded with entrepreneurship (CIP) grant by CRADLE in year 2008
Research & Developed Prototype In Inspecting Wafer Stencil (Die by Die Inspection) Demonstration:

Green color spot show dust / stain appear on wafer stencil, red color spot shows missing apeature detected.

Due to the wafer stencil surface is dirty, system detect a lot of stain from the image captured. Further research and implementation on hardware and software are required to reduce the errors detection.

ASIS PCB, Advance Stencil Inspection System

Automatic human eye independent QC tool for stencil inspection

Capability:
Check missing, extra, position offset and area defective aperture

ASIS™ is a fully integrated, stand-alone measurement and inspection workstation for stencil and screen fabrication or other machined, etched or laser cut eform operations.

ASIS™ uses a PC Windows based software package integrated with a high-resolution, calibrated, A3 size flatbed scanner. This combination allows inspection of both stencils and screens for accuracy and the ability to inspect and measure 100% for absence/presence and correct size of apertures.

* Awarded with pre-seed entrepreneurship grant by MDEC.

SZIS – Super Zoom Inspection System

SZIS is a super zoom microscope system with 50X to 500X zooming capability to inspect wire bond post quality.

Electronic Machine Inspection and Verification System

Software and hardware design in optical inspection technology effectively prevent human error in product labeling process in a manufacturing system. This technology consists of camera, video card, computer and image processing software to replace human eye and mental comparison process(brain), which is known for not reliable and error prone for repetitive task.

This proprietary solution prevent human mistake happen at the source, verify the source input data in text form against with machine first output unit. Therefore, it totally eliminate possibility of catastrophic product scrap cost, quality and reputation loss. Other competitors system provide solution in the area of “verify ‘first output actual unit’ against subsequence unit”. This comparison method only good for solving mix device and product segregation after mass production.
