AOI should be operated by an INSPECTOR! Inspectors do not operate assembly machines or automated assembly equipment, why would an operator run an Automated Inspection? Are your operators certified to IPC standards to make calls on bad solder joints o

Programming is different, yes, but so is the terminology. ///with machine vision you have parameters that select what is good and what is bad, and you have parameters that help make bad look worse and good look better making the difference between w

First Article Inspection is always a MUST in SMT Process. If possible AOI would be added. We also have second operator/inspector to check on pick&place machine setup and use a program printout for inspector to compare/double-check with BOM and the ot

Steve, When you say "CAD input", do you mean centroid data ( xy locations ) or generic cad info straight from the layout software. ( so far the machines I have been looking at use centroid) What are your rates of "false failures" and how do your o

About $60K for a good bench-top unit and $120K for a good in-line. AOI is justified if you are spending a lot of time ($$) visually inspecting your boards. AOI machine is faster and more reliable than a human for this task. Plus, visual inspectors d

Quality, consistency and labor savings all wrapped up into one nicely packaged piece of electro-mechanical marvel called AOI. Look for the number of templates one can store per component, lighting options, can it do through hole? Look at reporting
