Solder Paste Height Measurement System (SPM-300-3D) with 3D inspection
 
Caltex Solder Paste Height Measurement System (SPM-300) is the low-cost QC solution for SMT manufacturing. One system with two functions: solder paste height measurement and video inspection & taking pictures. With zoom 50x-300x, the system is capable of measuring height or depth down to 0.001", plus measuring solder mask, trace, pads, pitch and through holes. When inspection is called for, 50x-300x zoom plus digital-video imaging on your PC is so easy on the eyes and so quick to capture defect images and email right from your computer. The system is both economical as well as easy to use for any SMT production floor. This tool is ideal for measuring solder paste to gain better printing process as well as quality inspection for post re-flow solder joints.

How it works:
The SPM-300 projects a thin slice of laser light through a focusing lens onto the solder paste. This extremely thin slice of laser light intersects the top portion of solder paste first before reaching the board, which produces an offset of two lines due to height difference. Since this laser light is aligned at 45 degree, the profile of lines is in (1:1) one to one correspondent with the Z-Axis (Height Profile) of solder paste being measured. One then just measure the distance between these two lines to obtain Z-Height data. One can also measure any X-Y distances and Area on the solder paste to calculate for volume.
