We started looking at tabletop AOI systems last year, one of the main criteria, as we are a SC was that the sales engineer programmed one of our boards in front of us so we could see just how easy to program it was, also high on the list was performa

The 4796 always has at least one program loaded in memory. The 4796 talks to the world over a serial port, so you will need some version of UCT. I used windows NT machines and the code worked fine. The component database is standalone, in binary,

We use a MIRTEC high res bench top system and are real happy with the performace. We have used it for both pre-reflow Mainly checking parts and part numbers) and post reflow for everything including solder joints. Easy to program and as you do more

Michael, We have a DRS-24 and are very happy with it. Look at the wobble in the nose cone that holds the nozzles and make sure it does not move. This will degrade your placement acuracy. The machine is very process oriented meaning that you can not

We've been using fids as badmarks on panelized boards, with reverse recognition so that an uncovered fiducial is a good mark. It's worked fine with 1.5mm fiducials but now we've run into problems with a board with 1mm fids and we can NOT get it to wo

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

I agree that something has to be done with the lead waste but I believe that a recycling program is a better alternative to lead-free. Isn't silver more toxic? How about the venting of alternate alloy fumes, let alone the effects on operators. I say

Have you done any more work on this? I have a program that reads the Altium files, a feeder database,and makes a UFOS file for the older CSM machines. I can't get the UFOS to VIOS convertor on our Topaz X to read the UFOS *.BRD files. It stops and

Also Jan, Don't you have to send your components through a filter program when transfering from a 4796 to a 4791 or vice versa. I know you have to do this when transfering a 4790 program to a 4791 because the speed data does not transfer correctly. I
