Abstract
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to describe an innovative new technology for assembling lens elements to electronic image capture modules with high‐image quality.Design/methodology/approachApplying robotic technology, innovative high‐precision optical sensing of focus and quick UV curing of fastening adhesive to accurately combine lens with sensor using 5 degree of freedom alignment.FindingsAutomation using five degrees of motion freedom can more accurately assemble digital camera systems than previous 1 degree of freedom approaches. The approach is also more cost effective.Practical implicationsElectronic camera systems can be assembled more quickly and accurately than with previous methods and with overall cost savings. Companies may also find that other high‐accuracy devices can be assembled more precisely and cheaper using quick UV cure adhesives and vision systems for accurate placement.Originality/valueDigital camera/image systems will be more accurate and less costly, increasing the number of applications to which they can be applied.
