Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2012146370A1] The invention relates to an inspection device (10) and an inspection method for a defect analysis of printed circuit boards (PCBs) (14), comprising a translucent/light-conducting substrate (12) and at least one, in particular a plurality of layers (16) stacked one top of another. The device comprises at least one optical detecting means (24), a defect detecting means (30), and a layer printing means (20). The optical detecting means (24) is configured to record a first and/or second optical image B1, B2 of the layer (12) prior to and/or after a printing of a layer (12) of the PCB (14) by the printing means (20), wherein the defect detecting means (30) is configured to determine a difference image ?B from the two images B1, B2 so that the difference image substantially corresponds to the print image of the layer (12), and can be analyzed for print defects. By means of the inspection device, PCBs, which are in particular translucent and have multiple layers, can be optically analyzed for manufacturing defects during the printing process with great precision and high speed and at low cost.
