Abstract :
This paper presents the use of fuzzy logic to implement feature extraction and defect classification of an adaptive fuzzy control algorithm for the control of the solder paste stencil printing stage of surface mount printed circuit board (PCB) assembly. Experimental results are presented to illustrate the capability of the algorithm
