Hi! I work for a mid range SMT CM and we are looking to buy some AOI equip. Is 60-100k a doable range for something that is useful? And if that range is ok, what vendor should I go with? Regards,

AOI systems are a LONG way from being practical. You might impress potential customers (if you are a contract manufacturer) But they are basically an over-priced gimmick. Get your processes in line, buy a good 3D paste height checker, verify componen

Hi Evtimov, Try to stay away from GEM or SECS/GEM. It's waaaayyyy to complicated and every vendor has there own interpretation of it when it comes to events and reports that are not commonplace in the semiconductor industry, which is where the GEM-s

Andy, AOI is a worth-while tool for verifying part placement on those pesky little telecommunication boards that are too small for referance designators. It can also be a valuable verification step to reinforce quality control. Pros and Cons o

Hi Yannick, Smart Sonic has just introduced the "Assembly Module" to their StencilScan AOI software package. By adding the Assembly Module to StencilScan AOI, one workstation allows you to inspect and compare the stencil to the PCB and Gerber data a

I'd think about database structure and programming aspects as well. I'm cleaning up an implementation where the parts were taught as they appeared to the AOI programmer irrespective of the Pick & Place data/libraries. Lots of rotation fixes, parts

Our AOI machines have actually caught wrong resistors before. A reel gets swapped, a vendor sends a wrong part, things happen. To think that we can't rely on resistor markings anymore, that just sucks.

In general, how do you guys handle Component Text from different Vendors - multiple Alternates for the same comp. code? Do you guys use the Wrong Text inspection for everything or only specific components. Curious since that is one of our top false c

Although I am sure that some of the postings here are legitimate, it is obvious that many of them have been written by AOI manufacturers or suppliers. This forum is meant to be a communication channel for process engineers, not salesmen. Please sav
