First Article Inspection system is recommended. We use FAI , SPI and off-line AOI. FAI is very important for middle to high volume PCB assembly.

Most AOI, in-line or off-line, are operated by SMT machine operators. Yes, and how dare they say "..do not feel it is their job". FEEL, are you kidding me. Fire their asses.

Agree with some of the prior postings, disagree with most. This is obviously not suitble in every plant/company/country: We have some AOI:s inline and 1 off line and the "so called operators" is happy to be able to get to the next step: an improveme

It sounds as if you have your AOI set up off-line, and you're "AOIing" a sampling of the PCBs produced. If that’s the case, then the responsibility of who drives the inspection really depends on how you configure it. If it's based on the number of P

RS, It seems you've been doing your homework. However, the real question is what do you need to do with AOI? 1) What is your minimum cycle time? This would help you to determine the speed you need and whether "scan on the fly" is warranted. Also,

I am almost hesitant to mention my good fortune with our Yestech system, for fear that our advantage in the industry will be known. We have run a Yestech for about a year, the operator interface is very well organized. Data is scanned on the machin

The CAD data is the centroid data, x,y location. I developed an Excel macro in which we import the data as a text file and convert it to the CR Technology format. Rates for false failures varies, but is ~10 - 20%. The operators are given an oportuni

We are currently examining the issue of AOI machines (both in-line and off-line) It seems that the only positive remarks I find are written by the salespeople representing AOI manufacturers. Can someone please refer me to a more neutral source? My in

Chris, Some ramblings- Your choice depends on factors like which defects you're looking for, bugdet, quality inspection philosophy, high or low mix environment, sample sizes or 100%, and so on. Are you going to test 100% of the product coming off t

Hello Carl, Smart Sonic has introduced the Assembly Module for off line programming of assembly equipment such as GPD. You can see it on the Smart Sonic website: http://www.smartsonic.com Click on the AOI/StencilScan and GlueScan link. If you hav
