We like our AOI from Cyber Optics but only use it for process prove out. I would rather have a solder paste inspection system in line. The cost of AOI is killer. A new process is to embed a UV signature between the components pads and when a componen

I have customers that use Isopropal alchohol in this process, try it. I have heard good things about it. would you be in the market for another one of those? Soponofier

i am planning on implementing a new bga assembly and would like to have an x-ray system on hand during this process. I know that Glenbrook rents x-ray systems but the price is more per month than i would cost me to send out each PCB individually. D

AOI systems are a LONG way from being practical. You might impress potential customers (if you are a contract manufacturer) But they are basically an over-priced gimmick. Get your processes in line, buy a good 3D paste height checker, verify componen

Take the leap of faith my friend!! Buy the AOI and watch all of your problems disappear. Okay, so I exaggerated a bit. Let me tell you the real story. We purchased a CR Technology RTI6500 almost two years ago. We chose the CR Tech unit because it wa

Have you had bad experiences? We have a paste checker on line, and all components are verified at receiving and again when loaded on the machines. The purpose of AOI ( for us anyway ) is to reduce the time spent after reflow visually checking the b

Hello Phil, AOI equipment has been around for a number of years. I remember evaluating a machine around 5 years ago. At this time the system was not able to learn right side up or upside down characters. Well, the newer systems have come a long way.

Then Fuji it is. I'm happy with the features the Juki's R seriers are giving out. It is like, everything I could think of a placement machine if I would design one for myself...the 2060R is something I would buy happily...especially after you telling

A configuration of a number of AOI tools located at different inspection stages along the SMT production line has, by its nature, the ability to provide a faster and closer response to possible process related fault occurrences. Comparing with today

We use an Intermec 3240 Thermal transfer printer and print on polyimid label material that survives the reflow and wave solder (top side only) process without turning black. Labels run around 3-4 cents per depending on the size (We found Imtec label
