ABSTRACT:
An automated fiber optic inspection system consists of an inspection station having a motion control system that moves a camera in three dimensions in response to motion control software that is integrated with inspection software. The inspection system automatically inspects fiber optic connectors located in a fixture or installed in housings on a fiber optic card or board and moves the camera from one connector to the other in the fixture or card until all connectors have been inspected. The system stores motion profiles for various types of fixtures and cards.
