# Industrial Specification: Automated Optical Inspection Unit

## 1. Technical Definition
A vision-based inspection component that automatically detects defects on printed circuit boards during assembly.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-3.0 lux illumination intensity, 400-700 nm wavelength detection, 10-40°C ambient temperature**. Failure boundary: **Illumination below 0.3 lux causes 95% false negative rate, temperature above 45°C triggers thermal shutdown, wavelength detection outside 380-720 nm reduces accuracy to 60%**, Mechanism: **Photodiode quantum efficiency degradation below 0.3 lux (Poisson noise dominates), CMOS sensor dark current doubling every 8°C rise (Arrhenius equation), chromatic aberration beyond designed wavelength range**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Rayleigh Resolution Criterion**:

> **Primary Equation**: $d = \frac{0.61 \lambda}{NA}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Defines the theoretical limit of machine vision systems.
