John, contemporary machines provide their own software for programming - most you can do completely offline. There are several tricks here: 1. Design libraries correctly - you should have polarity convention that matches your P&P and your AOI machi

Another commercial tool is Valor MSS Process Preparation from Mentor-Siemens (Valor), can handle Gerber, PnP, ODB++, Native CAD ASCII Files, BOM and CAD Merge, SMT Pn Programming, AOI exports , DFT Engineering - ICT/Flying Probe programming, Stencil

Hi, We currently have several AOIs on our production/test line which I feel as an engineer, are not being used to their true potential. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can improve their use i.e SPC, Placement in the production line etc since we

If you are just wanting to test the values of the electrolytics or tantalums, it's not a problem with an ICT, as long as your system has an analog instrument to do it. If you are wanting to test the polarity of the cap, you will need a capacitive co

Hello John, the answer of your question is more organizational than technical. Most CEM use their own part number system(you will need to purchase software for that), and that is exactly what you want to do.You can have 5 different resistors 10kOhm

It's hard to poka-yoke loading reels onto the machine (either a inserter-sequencer or a sequencer, then getting the sequenced reels properly indexed). The only way I know of to make sure they've been set up properly is with visual inspection of EVERY

You are on the right track Ismir. Essentially however, as the programmer of the machine, I am the one that creates the PCB with the errors to benchmark the settings for the machine. No secret lab though! :-) Easy enough for most any AOI machine to

John, programming can be done easier, but you have to pay the price somewhere. I would recommend using the following sequence if you see a lot of new products all the time. 1. Use your own part number system. With these numbers you will fill up you
