Enhancing Quality Control in the Electronics Industry with Optical Metrology

As a manufacturer of electronic components such as plugs, sensors and printed circuit boards, you have to deliver the best quality for production while relying on high measurement accuracy and a significant reduction in the reject rates of your components. Are you confronted with components with different surfaces, complex geometries and tight tolerances even in the single-digit µm range?

Optical 3D metrology from Bruker Alicona help you meet these challenges in the electronics industry. Our measurement systems are perfectly suited to ensure the safety, quality and longevity of electronic components: Measure GD&T features of micro-geometries, as well as areal roughness to hard-to-reach surfaces traceably, repeatably and with high resolution, even under production conditions.

Measurement report: Optical measurement of electronic plug connections

This measurement report focuses on electronic plug connections with different surfaces. High-precision, precision-fit manufacturing is crucial for the long-lasting use of these components. Both the form accuracy of the entire connector and the dimensional accuracy of different geometries in reference to defined tolerances are quality characteristics to be tested.

Lecture: Evaluating press-fit zones with optical metrology

For quality assurance of press-fit-zones, it is important that complex geometric features such as edge radii, enveloping circles at specific positions or transitions such as that from the press-fit zone to the press-fit zone tip are checked. In this lecture, you will learn from Frank Uibel, long-time expert and management consultant in press-fit and stamping technology, which requirements are placed on a measuring system.
