Patent ID: 7213738

Claim:
A selective wave solder system comprising: a plurality of processing modules for processing a circuit board; a process program identifying a sequence of a plurality of process points on a circuit board and one of a plurality of processing modules corresponding to each process point; a gantry system moving a circuit board to align each process point, in sequence, with the corresponding processing module; a process point adjustment mechanism for adjusting the process points, the process point adjustment mechanism including a memory storing a stored location of at least one fiducial, a vision system for capturing at least one image of at least one portion of a circuit board, location determining means for determining an actual location for the at least one fiducial based upon the at least one image, and offset means for determining at least one offset value for each of the process points based upon the stored location and the actual location of the at least one fiducial, the offset means determining the offset value based upon a difference, in x and y dimensions, between the actual location and stored location of the one fiducial wherein the memory stores a stored location of two fiducials; and wherein the offset means includes: means for determining a rotation offset; means for determining a dimension offset; and means for determining the offset value by combining a translation offset based on the difference in x and y dimensions, the rotation offset and the dimension offset.
