Tiny camera module using in modern cellular phone requires precise assembly processes. Higher camera resolution and more functions such as zoom lens make the number of camera parts bigger. As market grows rapidly, automatic assembly process is required. However, diverse product line and short life cycle make it difficult. To attack this, a flexible and expandable lens assembly system is proposed. For the fast manufacturing line formation, modular concept is adopted. Also each module is designed to have intelligence to save system formation time. The assembly system is built up on the standard flat-form which provides vibration free base, air and electric supply, controllers, etc. Futhermore, the assembly cell has the capability of handling tiny, thin, or transparent parts which are very difficult to align with vision.

An automatic combination and assembly system for phone-camera lens modules was developed. The system enables the assembly of the relative orientation of the individual lenses making up the lens module. Conventional assembly systems assemble a lens module from eight assembly units. The developed system reduces this number to half by combining each lens and a spacer into a single assembly unit. Also, the number of transfer stages for sequential assembly is minimized without increasing the assembly time. Therefore, high productivity and a footprint that is only about 25 % of that of a conventional assembly system can be realized. The system features a modular design to allow it to cope with rapid changes in the market. Only a few components, such as the picker and guide, need to be replaced for changing to a new assembly model.

This paper is about the assembly of camera modules for mobile phones. We have particularly researched the assembly process proper for mega-pixel lens assemblies in the camera modules. Herein, we propose that self-adjustment function makes it possible to assemble these lens assemblies without fraction of components. In advance, we observed the assembly process of the lens assemblies to verify the possibility, and checked out it through experiments based on some assumptions.

The assembly of camera lens modules fur the mobile phone has not been automated so far. They are still assembled manually because of high precision of all parts and hard-to-recognize lens by vision camera. In addition, the very short life cycle of the camera phone lens requires flexible and intelligent automation. This study proposes a fast and accurate identification system of the parts by distributing the camera for 4 degree of freedom assembly robot system. Single or multi-cameras can be installed according to the part's image capture and processing mode. It has an agile structure which enables adaptation with the minimal job change. The framework is proposed and the experimental result is shown to prove the effectiveness.

Temperature adaptability is an important metric for evaluating the performance of an optical system. The temperature characteristics of the optical system are closely related to the material and shape of its lens. In this paper, we establish a mathematical model relating the temperature characteristics to the shape and material of the lens. Then a novel assembly structure that can solve the lens constraint and positioning problem is proposed. From those basics, the correctness of the theoretical model and the effectiveness of the assembly structure are verified through simulated analysis of the imaging quality of the optical system, whose operating temperature range is $-60{\sim}100^{\circ}C$.

Up to now, collimators have teen generally produced by handwork and only a few companies have produced by semi-automatic system. Under this situation, automatic system for assembly of optical collimators has risen as a mast essential technique in the development of optical communication components. In this study, it was constructed to develop optical collimators with high functionality and we manufactured optical collimators with a GRIN rod lens and spherical lens using automatic system. Therefore, we worked a performance test through a comparison of collimators made by automatic system and handwork with angle augment, bean size. Also we selected a optimum assembly condition of GRIN rod lens and spherical lens. As a result, it brought a reduction of the tact time and an improvement of an efficiency and a productivity of optical collimators, therefore it was found that automatic system was indispensable for materialization of optical collimators with high functionality.

Many automobile manufacturers are doing experiment on manufacturing environments by using an augmented reality technology. However, system layout and process simulation by using the virtual reality technology have been performed actively more than by using the augmented reality technology in practical use so far. Existing automobile assembly by using the augmented reality requires the precise calibrating work after setting the robot because the existing augmented reality system for the automobile assembly system configuration does not include the end tip deflection and the robot joints deflection due to the heavy weight of product and gripper. Because the robot is used mostly at the automobile assembly, the deflection problem of the robot joint and the product in the existing augmented reality system need to be improved. Moreover camera lens calibration has to be performed precisely to use augmented reality. In order to improve this problem, this paper introduces a method of the software based calibration to apply the augmented reality effectively to the automobile assembly system. On the other hand, the camera lens calibration module and the direct compensation module of the virtual object displacement for the augmented reality were designed and implemented. Furthermore, the developed automobile assembly system oriented AR-system was verified by the practical test.

A lens system of a camera module for mobile phones is comprised of the composition and design of various shapes of lens. To improve responses such as the modular transfer function (MTF), a lens system should always be constructed by considering uncertainty that can be caused by manufacturing and assembly error. In this study, tolerance optimization using the Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) technique is performed. In order to reduce the computational burden of the tolerance optimization process and decrease the influence from numerical noise effectively, we use the Progressive Quadratic Response Surface Modeling (PQRSM), which is one of Sequential Approximate Optimization (SAO) techniques. Using this method, we achieved optimal tolerance for each lens and obtained reliability for satisfying user‘s requirements. In addition, through the design process the manufacturing and assembly cost of a lens system was reduced.
