ABSTRACT:
A method for automatic focusing and three dimensional profile detection and an apparatus for automatic focusing and three dimensional profile detection have the purpose of detecting a three dimensional profile of the state of mounting of parts or soldering on a board without the affects of warp, even if the board of the detection object is warped, as if the surface of the board were on a flat plane. The board surface height is detected in a plurality of windows corresponding to stage scanning regions from a three dimensional profile signal of the part-mounted board detected by a height detection optical system. The board height or inclination in the next window is forecasted from the board surface height and the control history of stage height in the already-detected plurality of windows. Based on the forecasted board surface height or inclination, the speed or height in the Z direction of a Z-stage is controlled according to a feedforward method with scanning so as that the board surface and the focal plane of the height detection optical system are made coincident.
