Hi, We got a used Mirtec MV-2HTL. I was able to sort of get it to work without any training. Their software seem well design and it did find the same errors the human inspectors were finding. But be aware that you have to register with Mirtec if you

Hello Muarty, This is the age old question on AOI. Fortunately, the answer hasn't changed much over the years. It really depends on your business...period. A high-mix low-to-mid volume manufacturer, will need to concentrate on equipment that may

I agree with Steven. I have been involved with AOI for over 18 years. I was first introduced to it when I worked for Solectron. The AOI machines back then were more or less used as a selling item and very cumbersome to use. I have used and or operate

Hi Tony_D, thanks a lot for your answer! Yes I'd want to follow your advice, but Here in Italy I really don't find a Mirtec distributor yet. Also for me the defect coverage is a basic feature for the AOI and also in my company we have low volume high

We currently use a YesTech M1 system and we are looking to buy another. Two important areas to look at when pursuing AOI equipment: 1) Camera resolution 2) Light sources Depending on your needs, camera resolution can be important depending on the si
