I had an opportunity two years ago to evaluate three benchtop AOI systems. Omron, Yestech, and Mirtec. I was fortunate to be able to have all three machines side by side for my evaluation period, which lasted near a full month. At the time I was

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

Good Day Michelle, If you are looking for a solid AOI system that is simple to program and extremely accurate my recommendation is MIRTEC by far. We checked out several machines and narrowed the selection down to two, YESTech and MIRTEC. We had an

OUCH! The ol' boss went to a seminar clich� eh? That�s a killer. Especially if it�s salesperson driven (which most are). Almost as bad as when they pick up Circuits Assembly or Assembly Magazine. OK so you�re stuck doing this process. I would

Hello Federico, I know what you are going through. A few years back, I was faced with having to purchase AOI equipment for my business. My selection team and I looked at several different manufacturers including MVP (too difficult to program!). We

We use Mirtec MV-7s for post SMT inspection of solder joints as well. The artistry is in the program debug. We are very pleased with the solder inspections provided by these machines, and technology having advanced bit, most every AOI machine has t

You need to define what it is you are inspecting for, and more importantly, what benefits you are trying to achieve with your acquisition of the technology? Inspecting post placement, post reflow, or both? Solder Joints? Through Holes? Part numbers
