A part of the surface mount work of printed circuit boards is conducted by human workers and human error resulting from hand working is a serious problem. So the education of workers is very important in order to prevent human errors, but the present education methods using conventional video or paper are not so efficient. The goal of this study is to develop an education system for the surface mount work of printed circuit boards by utilizing a CCD camera, image processing techniques, a laser irradiation device and so on. This paper describes the outline design of the education system, developed functions and the results of their evaluations.
