Yes, your observation is accurate. Different process steps have different inspection requirements which necessitates employing different imaging technology to ensure the best performance (detection and throughput). Orbotech, for example, offers both

I will review some of the advantages/disadvantages of AOI vs. X-Ray one by one according to the main differences that you may find between them. * AOI uses optics that can "see" only visible elements. X-Ray can "see" hidden elements. There is a ve

First of all thanks to everyone who has replied, especially Pete C for his long article :-). My question is, do you have any special software to collect all the needed data? Cause data isn�t equal to information , i guess a "stupid database" (and a h

Hi Lupo, The MVT Supras we had far out performed the Omron systems on fault detection & false calls, and were nearly 1/3 of the price. But it depends also on what operator skill & dilligence you have to make sure the data goes in accurately & is tr

Hi Pavel, Great machines - very good for high volume - we did a lot of OEM overflow work and for fault finding & speed it kicked the other more expensive machines into touch. However... Programming is a lot slower initially than some of the othe

Andy, I have been "evaluating" some AOI systems. However, some of these are actually SAOI (Semi Automatic Optical Inspection), which is not a problem if that is what fits your process and budget. You can buy a high end system complete with many cam

Thank you for your response. I have been told that x-ray strength is finding solder volume and pattern root cause defects, and will catch a high % of them - opens, shorts, insufficient solder, and missing components(shape of solder on pad w/o lead i

1) Only if it's a real enhancement, and not to fix a fault in your design. 2) No, it just has to be instinctive & accurate. 3) Barcode is fine by me, but others swear by data matrix 4) Better than 1 in 10,000 - which could be once every 5 boards.

Thank you all for the great responses. We to looked at tne Mirtec before settling on the YesTech. I felt the machine software was better structured and organized and the system caught more faults on our "broken" board than the other system did (We

It really depends on the assemblies/components that need to be inspected and the available budget. 3D machines are much more reliable at detecting faults while not generating masses of false calls but of course they cost more than 2D machines. I ha
