Abstract

Disclosed is a camera module inspector of rotating type distributing a load of processing test raw data. In an exemplary embodiment, the camera module inspector of rotating type includes a rotary index table including a plurality of socket units, a plurality of testers arranged around the rotary index table, a plurality of test control processors connected to correspond to the plurality of socket units, respectively, to be fixed on the rotary index table, a network connection unit establishing network connections with respect to the plurality of test control processors, a redundancy check processor processing the test raw data faster than the test control processor, connected to the network connection unit and data controller test raw data requiring a great deal of processing time out of the test raw data generated in the plurality of test control processors to be transmitted to the redundancy check processor through the network connection unit.

Claims (13)

1. A camera module inspector of rotating type, which is capable of distributing a load of processing test raw data, the camera module inspector of rotating type comprising:

a rotary index table including a plurality of socket units on which camera modules are mounted and making rotational movement;

a plurality of testers arranged around the rotary index table and performing tests on the camera modules;

a plurality of test control processors connected to correspond to the plurality of socket units, respectively, to be fixed on the rotary index table, controlling the tests for the camera modules mounted on the socket units and processing test raw data generated during the tests;

a network connection unit establishing network connections with respect to the plurality of test control processors; and

a redundancy check processor processing the test raw data faster than the test control processor, connected to the network connection unit, fixed on the rotary index table, and receiving the test raw data from at least one of the plurality of test control processors and processing the received test raw data;

wherein test raw data requiring a great deal of processing time out of the test raw data generated in the plurality of test control processors is transmitted to the redundancy check processor through the network connection unit to then be processed by the redundancy check processor.

2. The camera module inspector of rotating type of claim 1 , further comprising an inspector controller positioned outside the rotary index table, receiving test result data processed by the test control processor from the network connection unit and controlling an overall operation of the camera module inspector of rotating type.

3. The camera module inspector of rotating type of claim 2 , wherein the inspector controller is connected to the network connection unit through a rotation axis of the rotary index table.

4. The camera module inspector of rotating type of claim 3 , wherein the inspector controller is connected to the network connection unit by a single optical joint connection being formed on the rotation axis of the rotary index table.

5. The camera module inspector of rotating type of claim 2 , wherein after the lapse of a predetermined time once all of the test raw data are generated in the plurality of test control processors, the inspector controller controls to perform the next test by rotating the rotary index table, irrespective of whether processing of the test raw data is completed or not.

6. The camera module inspector of rotating type of claim 5 , wherein the test control processor is configured sequentially to process the test raw data generated while the rotary index table is rotating in order of test raw data generated.

7. The camera module inspector of rotating type of claim 6 , wherein the test control processor is configured to process the test raw data generated in a previous inspection zone even during rotating movement of the rotary index table or in a standby state after the rotating movement of the rotary index table.
