4K Industrial Camera on Affordable Microscope for Phone Repair

Using a digital microscope instead of traditional magnification tools to repair rework defective boards will improve the operator's user experience and pave the way for more efficient quality control thanks to the bigger working area and real time image display.

Once a printed circuit board has been identified as faulty during quality control, repairing and reworking will most likely include hand soldering. However, due to the miniaturization of components in, e.g. smart phones and tablets, traditional tools such as magnification lamps and optical microscopes become insufficient or inexpedient.

Advantage

1. High quality live image

A digital microscope will also display a live image of what happens beneath the camera with no delay, eliminating moments of irritation and improving the quality control working conditions.

When inspecting or repairing PCB's it is easy to observe any errors due to full HD display at 1080p and 60 frames per second. This ensures there is no delay or distortion in the displayed images.

Using a visual inspection microscope to repair faulty boards helps the operator to work more efficiently, in a more relaxed and comfortable way which can lead to an increase in productivity.

HDMI connection to the monitor for live display

Optical microscopes, usually considered the alternative to magnifying lamps, have the disadvantage of a small field of view which limits your working area and thus making it difficult for the operator to work under the microscope.

Therefore digital microscopes are a great alternative and one that comes with many great benefits for the phone repair technician.

Inspect a sample by looking at a monitor that displays live image of the object under the microscope. This feature allows the operator to take accurate decisions and perform precise inspections.

Achieved Multiview though a Big monitor

Ability to check for the quality of a PCB together with your colleagues by looking at a monitor that is connected to the digital microscope though the vision camera. This makes the process easier and with fewer errors as you can discuss and debate on different parts of the sample in real time, eliminating the subjectivity of an inspection.

Reduce the physical burden

Having the right working posture when soldering or repairing circuit is important as operators can experience neck pains, back pains and many other health related problems. When inspecting a PCB with a microscope the operator can stand even 8 hours in an uncomfortable position making it a difficult job.
