Hi all, We plan to buy solder paste height measurement machine. However, not sure which is the better one..2D or 3D? As far as I know,3D is quite slow and but more accurate in term of measurement result. Pls share with me if anyone who has this e

Good Morning, We have a 3D solder paste inspection machine. We purchased it on a recommendation from a consultant. We are a CM high mix low volume. The President of my company has attended some seminars and meetings where it was conveyed to her that

Hi Dub J, I have worked for a few companies that did 3D sampling and found the data they produce to be useless. In the real world they are slow, so that means you won't sample every board. Now if you're not sampling every board, and you start to r

Hi everybody, First of all, to have process under 100% control you should have AOI after every active process in the pcb assembly line : - Post printing (2D or 3D Solder paste inspection machine); - Post reflow; - Post selective(wave solder). It i

�It adds NO VALUE whatsoever to do 3D inspection as part of in-line production.�

3d is good for initial verification that your screen printer and stencil is producing the desired paste height. 2D verification is more than sufficient during regular production. That being said, your best bet for a 3D machine is to go cheap - buy

Jeremy, well said! Thanks for "validating" my theory... LOL I agree that the sampling frequency, AND methodology are key things with 3D inspection. 3D will give you some insight onto how your paste (rheology, viscosity, thixotropy)AND process are

In short this guys are not well updated on the new technology of SPI. True, 3D IN LINE SPI is no longer a slow machine. Try checking some brand like Cyberoptics,Synapse imaging,SEIMENS,KOHYOUNG and many others...they can match the speed os some mount

Hi Steve-O, Good question(s). This process was set-up by an engineer that had a PhD in statistics, took him a year to develop and then thru it over the wall at us. The biggest problem we saw was SPC to measure solder volume. SPC is good for measu
