Fellows, We are considering getting an AOI machine to inspect boards that our vendors are giving us (we outsource the assembly of PCBAs). We have low volumes of boards, but every time a defect does slip by our human inspectors, it causes a lot of

Hi, Besides the 2 machines mentioned which are part comparison machines that require the operator to provide a pass/fail on each ref id, there is a system called the FA Inspector which offers the mode described above and two additional modes: 1. Au

AOI should not a be a filter at which you throw a mix of good and bad parts to hope it filters out all the bad parts. It shouldn't be seen as a "fix" to the problem of shipping bad parts to your customer. It should be a tool to help you identify wh

Alan, You're right, mass inspection after assembly won't work. The inspectors will miss 25% (or more) of the defects, and the boards will be reworked before SMT operators can properly define defects and their sources. The company I work for tends to

We currently redoing our floor layout and need to squash our SMT line into a smaller, rectangular cell. We currently use a manual printer/stenciler, pick and place, reflow oven, and aoi inspection machine. Can anyone give me any links to any differ

You should have a number of lighting options to deal with the low contrast lettering. Low angle, B/W, reverse color. etc... If I am reading you right, you might have your bridge inspector too far out on the lead banks, that it is seeing the silkscree

Thinking about it... If your sphere diameters were all the same, then your planarity should be established. Sounds like a job for an AOI type machine, with a laser height checker. I take it you have many of these to check, and are looking for someth

I think you answered your own question by providing new information. If your AOI isn't capable of catching the vast majority of SMT soldering issues and you're SMT process isn't functioning at a very high level, you probably should count on inspect

Have you had bad experiences? We have a paste checker on line, and all components are verified at receiving and again when loaded on the machines. The purpose of AOI ( for us anyway ) is to reduce the time spent after reflow visually checking the b
