Hello Reese, We currently own two MIRTEC MV-3 desktop machines and one MV-7 inline machine (so you can tell right away that I am a little biased.) We had an opportunity to evaluate both the YESTech and MIRTEC machines on our production floor. The

Although not listed in your post, I recommend YesTech. I have been using them since 2007. We have two M1 systems, and they have been good machines. We evaluated three: YesTech, Mirtec, and Christopher. Of the three, the YesTech system caught more

I would suggest spending the extra money and getting the Mirtec. Simple to program, great support and reliable. We run 2 of these machines (MV3-L) 10 hours a day 6 days a week. Remember, you get what you pay for. If programmed correctly, the Mirte

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 can only speak for Mirtec and Yestech AOI for SMT Solder Inspection. We do use Koh-Young AOI for Solder Paste Inspection. As usual ,you need to identify exactly what it is you are trying to achieve with your AOI, if you are just trying to fill a

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

Hello Lou, As a high-mix low-to-mid volume manufacturer, you will need to concentrate on equipment that may be progammed very easily, with very quick debug time from assembly to assembly. I have worked with Agilent in the past, and one of my collea

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

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

I agree with steve. With so many vendors advertising to be the best, it is critical to have a "real time" demonstration on your product. Take a few good boards and a few defect boards along with the necessary data to the demo. Don't allow any prog
