When testing components on a PCBA, try to validate coverage for presence, correct, orientation, live, and alignment. AOI is not really great at catching cold solder joints and damaged components, and from my experience an X-Ray is only as good as the

Thanks for your replies! So what I understand is that ICT in reality is "only" a production process safety net, but it's a net that in most practical cases is needed. What ICT can not catch is (all) bad solder joints. What are the methods to find t

Hi, Can you tell me at what point in the print cycle the error happens and if it consistently happens at the same point? The machine has two crash beams running down either side of the machine as a safety measure to ensure the table is down before

I have been using ICT for a number of years. It is still a viable resource for catching defects in the production process. AOI doesn't catch everything, such as bridging on QFN or J-lead devices (this will depend on the type of AOI and camera syste

Dr. Lou, Your first question is influenced by many variables. New equipment will have the first year free parts, labor and service. You may discuss a long term at time of purchase. Older equipment may (depending on maintenance) have a higher chance

Since I'm new to the forum I probably ask previously answered questions (that I have not found) but I would be grateful if someone could clarify this for me. I'm in R&D at a company where we design low volume (1k-10k) fairly complex PCBAs for our pr
