Another issue to look at is the efforts that it takes to become familiar with the machine. Where I work we are also looking into AOI machines, and one of our requirements (based on how simple the vendors say their machines are) is that after no more

You definitely need to have live demos of each system, using your specific assembly if you want to compare apples to apples. Each of the AOI OEM's you mentioned have plus amd minus to their unique systems. You will need to evaluate your specific nee

In the past year I was responsible for developing and leading a Team focused on AOI, Evaluation, Justification, and with a full ROI required, supporting a HMLV manufacturing environment. If you have in these economic times the additional resources t

If you are in the Americas, I'd contact tech support and they should square you away on that high false call rate problem. They have great WebEx training and troubleshooting. www.mirtecusa.com

AOI should be operated by an INSPECTOR! Inspectors do not operate assembly machines or automated assembly equipment, why would an operator run an Automated Inspection? Are your operators certified to IPC standards to make calls on bad solder joints o

I worked at a place where the new manager wanted SMT operators with experience. Two of the operators were pretty much as good as all the others put together. They had no SMT experience when they started. The company was lucky they started before he

Good point tommy, I think we are confusing what we are talking about here. It was not asked if the operators should do inspection. It was asked if an operator should pass boards through a machine. The operator is not inspecting anything just as t
