Abstract

See full text

A camera system and associated method for aligning a component with a footprint on a PCB including: a housing having a first side and a second side opposite to the first side; a first image sensor positioned on the first side of the housing and pointing to a first direction away from the housing to capture an image of the component and generating a first image signal, wherein the first image sensor includes a first lens assembly without a prism; a second image sensor positioned on the second side of the housing and aligned with the first image sensor pointing to a second direction opposite to the first direction to capture an image of the footprint on the PCB and generating a second image signal, wherein the second image sensor includes a second lens assembly without a prism; a mixing circuit for mixing the first image signal with the second image signal and generating a mixed image signal; and a processor for processing the mixed image signal and displaying a superimposed image of the component and the footprint on a display monitor.
