Hi Lou, If real process control and useful defect data is what you're looking for, Orbotech has some of the best tools available out there.

Hello Lou, I agree with John S. There is no substitute for first hand experience. I recently evaluated these machines among others for my company. I selected Mirtec based on ease of programming, inspection performance and Gage R&R testing. We

Just my two cents, but our findings were that the Yestech system was more in-line with our type of high mix, mid volume manufacturing. In my research, I found the Yestech to be the most favored for our applications, with most contract shops I talked

Could anyone please help me in my evaluation of Agilent vs. Omron vs. MIRTech/YESTech AOI? We are a high-mix low-to-mid volume manufacturer looking to gain not just a screening method but real process understanding that a Quality Engineer (myself) w

Lou, There's nothing like working with it yourself. We went through this exercise several months ago. We evaluated MIRTec, YESTech, and MVP. We were looking at benchtop units, so all 3 companies were willing to send in a "demo" unit for 3 weeks.

We have two YesTech machines. They are a great supplier and you should at least test thier machine and make the call based on what is best for you. I have also owned an Agilent machine and unless they have changed dramatically, I would not consider t

Lou, You should look at the ERSA/Modus AOI System! The Modus AOI uses a high resolution industrial scanner rather than a camera mounted to a gantry. It's way faster (12 seconds for whole board ) and can do everything that a camera can do and more

Hello Lou, As a high-mix low-to-mid volume manufacturer, you will need to concentrate on equipment that may be progammed very easily, with very quick debug time from assembly to assembly. I have worked with Agilent in the past, and one of my collea

The company that I work for is a high-mix, mid-high volume manufacturer, and we also chose the YesTech AOI equipment. We currently have a YTV-2050 (the conveyorized machine with 5 cameras), and also the YTV-1000 (table-top version of the YTV-2050, wi

Doing a head-to-head comparison is best. Use the same boards with the same defects to compare programming time, inspection speed, amount of inspection types you can program for and of course defect detection. Finding the defects that occur in your pr
