Hi All, While I will carry out a search of the archives when I get a chance, I would like to hear from anyone using AOI. I am currently looking for a 2nd user machine . A couple of the main factors I will be considering is ease of programming and l

I read through this thread somewhat and checked out the pictures. I've programmed TH lead checks on a newer Yestech and an older Mirtec. I personally use the Yestech white-top/histogram check and the only solder inspection Mirtec has. In my experienc

Typically on my company's Mirtec systems, any anomalies, such as cracks, chips, etc. on chip capacitors and chip resistors are going to be detected with just a basic mounting inspector. We have a full image of the part (solder joint not included) as

I don't the Omron but I have worked with one where if you taught more acceptable windows then over time the machine slowed down because it had to do more checking. On that machine a false fail could be added to the library. Over time each component c

Hello, No experience with Mirtec, they are more populair in the States and Asia it seems. For my company, not only the inspection depth and reducing false fails was important, but also good costumer support. Keep in mind that if you have problems w

My engineering couterpart has the task to evaluate AOI and we will be receiving one next month. In most of the articles I've read, AOI is deemed effective post paste and post pick-and-place (pre-reflow), but there are rarely discussions about post re

I've been using an Omrom machine for over 5 years now. I have mixed feelings about it. It has paid for itself many times over, but it needs constant tweaking. Constant tweaking is something I believe all AOI machines need, but the way our system wo

Good point tommy, I think we are confusing what we are talking about here. It was not asked if the operators should do inspection. It was asked if an operator should pass boards through a machine. The operator is not inspecting anything just as t

Hello, there are several great machines you can choose from. I would recommend making a benchmark, if you can. You chose 4 machines that meet you requirements (mostly prize range) and make them program and debug one of your products. After that insp

You can do the so called "Golden Sample" with defects from the process. The making of the defects on the board is very important to be as much close to the real ones from the production. How I do it - after the printer I remove paste on some pads, so
