Vacuum Process Control Program

Vacuum Process Control Program

Completed project

Applied Microengineering Ltd (Oxfordshire, UK) produces systems that perform a vacuum-based process and these are supplied to a range of industrial sectors worldwide. The systems are controlled by one of our programs and we continue to support the software as the systems are enhanced over time.

One stage in the process involves alignment of tiny marks – the dark marks with the light ones in the screen shot above. The pairs of cross-shaped marks are simultaneously aligned by a combination of pattern recognition, image processing and ultrafine motor control.

Using algorithms developed by LiveWires, the system can be trained to align almost any reasonable shape of mark and the software works out the alignment accuracy even though the marks overlap when aligned.
