PizzaFred, Scott mentioned lots of good ideas. Take one of your boards to each vendor and see what it takes to program the board how long it takes for it to become online. I've found some that are easy to program, but require 40 or more assemblies to

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

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

hi my company is planing to purchase an aoi system to be used inline. is there anyone out there doing this, if so do you use all the machine options (pattern character recognition, bad board marks, correct part polarity...) or do you dumb it down(pa

We have purchased 2 and will be implementing them in our line shortly. We have one for component inspection and one for paste inspection. We are planning on starting with it "dummed down" and then adding more variables and tightening our criteria a

In my experience, no. There are some uses for angled cameras (I've used them for inspecting off marks like notches out of LEDs for polarity), but I never found the results repeatable enough to warrant using the angled cameras over the standard, stra

If it was only 1 or 2 components on a reel that were backwards, I would lean more likely the cause just being the component was wrong direction in Tape from factory. Not much you can do from a Pick & Place perspective, generally.. Most machines use

Please check the leads length and polarity. The manf. of LEDs must have given some feature for distinguishing.

I don't know about a poster, but we just print the Data Sheet for parts with questionable polarity markings. Just remember, that not all SMT LEDs are marked by Cathode. We have ONE LED that we use that the manufacturer puts a dot on the anode side.

THE AOI system is good for presence and polarity only
