, Vice President of Engineering at MPM Corporation.

The MPM stencil printing machinery prints patterns of various solder pastes, epoxies, and cermets through a screen or stencil onto the surface of circuit boards. These contact patterns must be printed in a precise position on the board so that the electronic devices that are bonded to them operate properly. The Cognex machine vision system increases the stencil printer's pattern positioning accuracy by precisely aligning the screen or stencil to the board prior to printing.

Cognex Corporation designs, develops, manufactures, and markets machine vision systems, or computers that can "see," which are used to automate a wide range of manufacturing processes where vision is required. Having shipped more than 25,000 machine vision systems to date, Cognex is the world's leader in the machine vision industry. In addition to its headquarters in Natick, Massachusetts, the company has offices throughout the United States and Europe, and in Japan and Singapore.
